ASUS Screen Problems

This has been almost a year since I have had this problem. I called them the first time, sent it in, they replaced my LCD. 2 weeks later...

It's becoming increasingly frustrating to deal with this. I have to press very hard on the bottom right side of my screen, or literally twist and hold on the left in order to make it stop on a good day. Other days it does nothing at all. I can't send it in as I need my computer for school papers and work, and asking for a rush is like a joke (it's not like they'd listen to me and fix it anyways.)

The problem's appearance varies with screen brightness/battery or adapter power. When the screen is not on full brightness or unplugged, the screen flickers and starts to dim before going black. Full brightness, well...








Those are the only two extremes not affected by the crazy screen issues. All the way back, or almost closed. You can see why I get so livid as neither of these are conductive for being on a laptop. It also is frustrating when you bought it for drawing on the computer and you can't get anywhere without the screen flipping out.

It shows no preference for when it does it. It will do it on start up until shut down. Unless the computer is off, it isn't doing this. Also when it flickers the greys to flash and basically are near seizure inducing.

G72GX is the model number on the bottom of the computer (top stickers have since come off) with a Nvidia GTX 260M card that has the most recent update available for it.

I want to say inverter board. I want to call them and proceed to ask to replace the LCD (as I have probably darn near ripped it off), inverter, and to look into my microphone issues (when doing videos on the built in camera, the sound is now always behind, an occurrence that wasn't there when new)

Anyone have any ideas before my peg'asus' learns to fly?

 

When you put the screen all the way forward or back it will stress the cable so it sounds like maybe a loose or failing display cable to me.The left hinge is where the cable is routed in most machines.

 

For awhile I thought loose cable, but I had my doubts considering this was like an amplified problem of what I had previously. I recently had 2 days of it not doing this at all. I wanted to cry. it was lovely to have a functioning computer that I could use and enjoy. Then...poof...gone in an instant and back to this.

 

I'm probably going to jinx myself, but when I brought it back home with me last weekend, the screen problems suddenly plummeted to near nothing. Even after I went back to where I live, it still wasn't as bad. I even didn't have to press as hard on the bottom right like I normally do (my thumb is bruised from when it was bad.)

Would a faulty cable have expanses of good days? It's still doing it, but it's nowhere near as frequent or bad.
