    Question Screen, LVDS cable or something else?

    I see your point and I would've appreciated "I don't know" as an answer more than "buy a new one".. This is not the first time that I ask something about repair and get the "just buy a new one" answer. Example I found a short on the motherboard (protective overcurrent zener diode on 19V power...

    Question Screen, LVDS cable or something else?

    No, it wasn't missed as I answered the question in my next reply. And as I stated before, first we have to see what the problem is and then go and give advice on what is more cost worth - fixing or buying new. They gave advice on buying new one in their first reply. As you said "you are support...

    Question Screen, LVDS cable or something else?

    Thanks for the reply but that didn't happen the day later but instantly after switching the HDD first time and instantly after booting from USB the second time. I took coincidance into account but it seems highly unlikely. I tried reseating the cable at both ends, cleaning the connectors...

    Question Screen, LVDS cable or something else?

    Hello everyone! This would be a little longer post. So, my problem is pink and green flickering lines which cause laptop screen to glitch (on external monitor-TV everything is fine). This first happened about a year ago (maybe more) and I fixed it by changing the refresh rate to 40Hz for few...
