Horizontal screen distortions, display?

Hi Dan,

I have one of these in for repair with horizontal distortions. Would that indicate a ribbon cable problem? When i tilt the lid in a specific angle it gives me a perfect display. Thanks in advance

These are a bit dark..

While tilting the lid alters the screens reaction this is not a cable issue, it’s a bonding issue of the cable to the displays LCD panel. Sadly this is repairable issue, it will require a new display assembly to fix.

These displays are getting hard to find, you may need to search for a used broken system to get it.

Thanks for your reply. That's a pitty.. So I better not open it up to replace the ribbon if that's useless. Thanks for your kind help!
