Display issues with the screen, possible LVDS cable issue?
MacBook Air 13" Model A1237
Hi All,
I have macbook air laptop from, 1st Gen. It has been working perfectly fine until recently. The screen decided to play up. The screen has blue colours all over it and I can not see anything on the screen other than blue colours. However, when I push the screen from bottom right and pull from top left (strange I know) I can see the displays perfectly fine. The second I let go off this than it goes back to the error.
I tried to do a hardware test on the machine, which didn't cause any errors but strangely the screen started to work upon the completion of hardware test. I used the laptop for half an hour, it worked fine. Then touched the screen a little bit and it was gone again.
I do not think that the whole display assembly unit is faulty (which would be a bomb to get it fixed), I believe that it may be just the LVDS cable is loose? Can someone tell me how I can replace this, whether this is the fault?
Thanks and I look forward to all yours help.
Is this a good question?

For first reply - I am pushing the side of the screen, so when I move screen back and forward there are points when image display but when I let go of the screen, display are blue again.
2nd reply - The video shows how to replace the whole assembly unit, which according to apple will cost £400+. I think it is a loose cable connection as display works perfectly fine when I play around with the screen. Which cable is it that I tighten possible or replace that may fix this issue?
