P775 TM1G screen flickering

[the jg89]

I seem to be having trouble with my laptop screen,when I open it at an angle the screen tends to flicker from time to time  (it steadily turns black if ) before turning it angle where the screen becomes fine again but now it seems like there are very few angles now where the screen is fine, I have the wire needed to replace the one connected to my laptop screen how do I go about removing it?

Hi! I have the same issue unfortunately :))) I haven't bothered getting a new cable as it seems that simply reseating the cable on the monitor side seems to fix the issue for some time (remove the 2 rubber thingys at the bottom of the monitor - on the upper part of the hinge; undo the screws, remove the plastic bezel on the monitor (I usually flex it from the side and I can pop it out slowly), unscrew the panel, remove and plug the lcd cable back in

If you want to change it you'll have to remove it entirely, and you can find a dissasembly tutorial on youtube, just follow the lcd cable onto the motherboard, take it off, put the new one back in :))) It should be fairly simple but extremely annoying :)))

 

Considering this thread is almost 3 weeks old I think you have already fixed it by now, but I just wanted to say that you are not the only one with this issue :))) 

PS: when the display goes black, resetting the video drivers (ctrl + shift + windows key + B) may fix it :))

I suppose you already got your answer, really sorry I forgot to check the forum (life got really busy 🙂). I'll say it anyway in case anybody else comes across this: I used a small flat head screwdriver to flex the rubber thingys out of their holes and they came right out. They do have some really weak adhesive on the back of them, but it'll just fall off, it doesn't really matter. They will be snug enough to not fall out on their own when you put them back (honestly I keep them off at all times since I pretty frequently reseat the lcd cable :))) )
