Hey guys so my buddys dad has this laptop and the screen was acting up (flashing off)
HDMI output worked fine, so i assumed it to be the panel.
replace panel --> ghosting issue/area on left had more black then right side --> assumed faulty, got replacement.
new replacement is even worse and has lines all over. looks broken --> tech support says 2nd screen fully tested, must be cable or else.
replace cable --> same exact issue persists.
Meanwhile, the HDMI output works flawlessly, so im inclined to not think its the iGPU.
Should I insist the panel was damaged during shipping or does it really appear to be something else?
Additionally, is there any tool that would allow me to test the monitor on a desktop or test the gpu cable to another external display? I have heard of one, but don't knwo what its called and cant find one on google.
Any help appreciated!
