Lenovo Y500 LCD screen cable issues

[efret]

I have been having issues with my Lenovo Y500 screen, see here: Screen glitch

Initially I thought my GPU was dying, since it gets worse when I'm doing things that could be using the GPU, playing games, google chrome, etc. Since the external monitor is rock solid I'm inclined to believe that the LVDS cable connecting the screen with the motherboard is the culprit. I have replaced the cable once already (different symptoms) with a china direct cable off of ebay a couple months ago. Could it be the screen itself or maybe my graphics card is dying? If its not likely the screen or something else are there any suggestions for ordering a replacement cable?

Thank You

Not this one, I don't think... I've had it for 18 Months now. No extended warranty.

Personally I would see if a custom laptop maker would sell you one.
