Hi, I have a 2009 MBP with Lion, 2gb ram and 150gb hard drive which I just replaced. I have had an issue with my macbook for a while since I dropped it. It runs fine and the runs almost as fast as it did when I got it.

The issue I am having is with my display. I have looked through forums and I can't find someone with the same issue as me. My display gets lines through it or turns grey as the display is moved. Sometimes you don't even have to touch it and it will flicker and then freeze.
Once you re angle the screen it goes back to normal SOMETIMES. It seems to me to be a loose connection of some sorts for the following reasons. 1. when I plug in an External display, this freeze doesn't appear on that display, even if my laptops screen in frozen. 2. The whole computer doesn't freeze and if you put pressure on the display it stops it from freezing as long as you have pressure on it.

Is there anything I can do? Can I fix the connection if thats the issue? Please help!
