Hi,

Here is a link to a video showing the screen replacement on an Asus X550 series laptop. At 4:16 minutes into the video it shows the location of the video cable connector on the screen and also that the cable passes through the left hinge of the cover.

You could try getting a stable picture on the screen and then gently, using a finger, press around the left hinge area, avoiding going near the screen connector location, and see if you can make the picture alter. If you can then perhaps that is where the problem is. it may also be that the cable connector on the screen itself is not holding the cable securely rather than a faulty screen.

It may be that you will have to open the laptop to locate the problem. Presumably it is out of warranty?

Hi, thank´s for the quick reply

I have already disassembly the LCD and check where the cable conects, so it´s probaly okay there.

I followed your advice and when I have the screen working fine, if I touch any place it will stop working.

I can buy the cable and replace the old one, it will be a lot cheaper then the lcd, but the problem may be the LCD that´s my doubt.

Hi, When you say 'touch any place' is that on the screen or the laptop in general? If only on the screen then perhaps it is the screen, if on the laptop body (and you can hold the screen tight) it may be in the body e.g. the video cable connector there. have you tried an external monitor and see if the picture holds steady?

Hi,

It´s just around the bezel of the screen.

I´m using an external and it´s okay
