Python - Trying to use a list value in an IF statment

I need to ask a user to input a question that will be compared to a list. The matched word will be displayed and then linked to an option menu. I have added the code below. I have managed to get the the program to search the input and return the word in the find list if a match appears. However I can not figure out how to use the result in an if statement as it is not a string value. I know there is a long way of doing this but is there a simple way of changing 'result' to a string value?

import re
question = input("Please enter your problem:")
find=["display","screen","battery"]
words=re.findall("\w+",question)
result=[x for x in find if x in words]
print (result)
if result in find:
    print("Is your display not working?")
else:
    print("Hard Luck")

Sorry I forgot to say that the outcome of the match will result in a different if statement being selected/printed. For example - If the 'question' used the word 'display' then an IF statement suggesting a solution will be printed, elif the 'question' used the word 'screen' then I elif for a solution to a broken screen will be printed and elif 'question' used 'battery' elif solution to charge the battery will be printed. The problem is I can not change 'result' to a str value to use in an IF statement. I can not check - if result=="display".. or if result=="screen".. or if result=="battery"...
