Why is my alienware M17X display flickering

Hello,

I have a M17X laptop from late 2013. My display is flickering when moved in different orientations. Initially i thought it was a screen issue so i disconnected the power and display connection to the screen. After cleaning and reseating the issue still occurred. Could it be a loose or defective cable in the screen or could it be a issue with the video card?

Buddhika,

Thank you for the confirmation. I had re assembled the LCD and remounted it to confirm the fix was not GPU related.

Thank you,

Phil
