    Hi
    The screen has a lot lines going across it when coming out of hibernation or every once in a while. If the screen is moved back and forth they go away. Sometimes it has to moved to an exact location. If the computer is in turbo mode some items on the screen have a green shadow next to them. Any advise in fixing the problem. Is it the video card or a problem with the screen or a wire is loose?
    Thanks

    If moving the screen fixes it, it sounds like the LVDS cable has a problem. The connector for that is under the left hinge which you can get off pretty easily with the screen closed by carefully squeezing and pulling on it. Press down on the connector and make sure it's well seated. There are pics here:

    If it's giving you green artifacts on turbo mode that could be an overheating problem, check your temperatures. You can also try reinstalling your graphics drivers.
