Hey there,
recently I've obtained a laptop from a collegue which behaves strangely - to be precise it's its display panel.
- The display flickers in random colors
- When the laptop displays the POST, it looks just fine, for whatever reason. To be specific it looks somewhat fine everywhere until display content hits a specific vertical and/or horizontal line.
You can also watch this mesmerizing mess over here at youtube:

I already tried to error out as much as even possible but now I've run at full speed towards a brick wall.
- The laptop puts out a image over HDMI and VGA just fine:

- The panel itself works just fine when used in another laptop - and vice versa another panel shows the same symptoms on this MSI laptop.
- I ordered a new LVDS cable to be really sure it's not a broken cable, didn't work, problem persists.
- I checked the capacitors next to the LVDS connector and changed them but again no luck.
So, really, what the f is going on here?
