Chosen Solution

Hello, can you please help me identify problem i have? Here is the link to video showing the problem I had it before and i disassembled laptop, changed thermal paste and it was magically gone. But after some time it returned back. I tried to disassemble again but i brooked lcd cable. So i ordered a new hoping that the cable was the problem from the start. I replaced it and the problem is still there, you can see it on video. HDMI and VGA output works, also in BIOS i see clear image, maybe just some noticeable flickering, maybe this is normal. Also in video you can see ASUS inscription is ok, only loading animation is distorted. Don’t know why after ASUS logo loading screen, lcd goes wild. Thank you for your advices! Don’t have much trust in local repair workshops, they will say to change LCD panel or motherboard or something like that. I may do it, but i need to be shure that it will solve the problem.

Just a thought before replacing the LCD clean the cable ends with IP alcohol . small bits of dirt or lint in the contacts can create a similar problem. If after cleaning you have no Joy then inspect the solder joints at the connection on the motherboard . Use a magnifying glass or loop for close inspection . look for cracks in the solder or missing pins is you see any cold solder joints cracks or dull solder . Use flux and a Hot air station to reflow the solder . If all seems well on the board end then try installing an new LCD. Hope this helps

Hi Night Striker, As long as an external monitor that is connected to either the HDMI or VGA interface works fine, the problem does not seem to be related to the GPU. You already replaced the cable, so the only item that seems to create the issue is the LCD itself. Like Claes pointed out, it is likely that the controller is defective, hopefully the controller on the back of the LCD panel. Here is what I would do:

  1. Checking on the new LCD cable that it is correctly installed.
  2. Getting a new LCD screen, for example here. Steffen

This is a problem with the Nvidia GPU. This is very common across the board with Toshibas, Dells, and other brands. The reason why an external monitor or HDMI work is because your Intel CPU has a built in graphics card of its own integrated. https://ark.intel.com/products/64899/Int…
