Hi all. I am not an expert on computers and would really appreciate some advice if someone could spare a few minutes.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite, around 3 years old.
The issue is that my Toshiba laptop screen flickers green and black horizontal lines when turned on. It used to flicker on and off (and I could still use the laptop) but now does so all the time so I cannot use it. The actual laptop works fine and works fine when hooked up to an external moniotor.
I am therefore 99% sure it is a fault with the LCD cable, not the screen (as occassionally it does "come back" and not flicker for a second or two).
Could anyone, from past experience (and my brief explantion above), confirm these suscpicions please?
If so, should I buy a cable and fix myself (or ask a techy expert friend to), or should I just go to a repair shop?
Many thanks and any advice would be much appreciated.
