Is this the faulty GPU or something else?

Our non-unibody MBP is flickering bluish colors on the left half of the screen. It happens randomly, but frequently. It can be stopped by pulling the screen towards me slightly, enough to put tension on the hinge, but not actually moving it towards me. Is this an indication of the faulty GPU or the ribbon connecting the screen?

Cheers

Sounds like the hinge. I had the non-unibody GPU problem and it was nothing like that (plus that would not be solved by touching the screen).
