    Since 2-3 months My screen has been flashing randomly. Stripes come on the screen verry fast and 'flash' (not artifact).

    It's not my GPU (I think) as when I connect an external monitor, The flashing only happens on my LCD (notebook).

    Whan parts can be replaced that cause this 'flashing'?

    If this is still not clear enough, I could make a video of it..

    Regards

    Flashing as in backlight turning on and off randomly?

    Try moving the screen slowly towards open and closed positions and see if it gets any worst.
