    Thanks for your ASUS K93S disassembly procedure.

    I have a ASUS K93SM with a video or display defect. Is there a way to test the LVDS cable, so I don’t have to disassemble it.

    If the artifacts appear on external monitors it's not the internal lcd cable. If it is just the internal it's likely the cable or lcd panel itself.

    The signals from the VGA and HDMI ports are ok. The problem is only with the laptop screen. When the problems started the image on the screen was sometimes ok at other times there were artifacts. Now the display is on and showing color bands. Is it possible to run a program that tests the communication between video card en LCD display logic, to determine if the cable may be the cause?

    Your monitor display is that test and it would impossible to determine what the root cause is without investigation.

    The root cause could be the LVDS cable, or LCD/LED panel itself, or its circuit board.
