Toshiba satellite screen goes grey/white

[Rlr4ever5597]

I have a toshiba satellite e55-a5114, sometimes the screen goes grey/white with lines goin through it. If I move the screen in either direction it fixes the problem for now. Any idea how to fix the problem?

If you move your screen and the problem disappears, it usually is the cable in between the LCD and the Laptop, called the LVDS cable. This can break over time due to opening/closing down the laptop screen.

Here is the correct part:

is this something I can replace myself, or should I have an expert do it?

I highly suggest having an expert doing this. It implies dismantling pretty much everything, and if you are not careful you can break a lot of things.

But it is possible to do it yourself. Check out this video and see if you are confident in doing it:
