Macbook Air 2011 LCD flicker

[Fakada]

hi all,

Can anyone of you tell me what's going wrong with this macbook air LVD screen?

The colocar that should be OK is green. Take a look at video. It flickers. Movement or heat/cold affect the flickering.

Thanks in advance
Regards

Bad cable?

Hook it up to an external monitor to see if the same thing happens. If not, it's a cable, logic board, or screen issue.

Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like you're rotating the display in order to trigger the flickering. If that's the case, that's a classic sign of a bad LVDS cable (cable that connects the LCD panel to the logic board).

You can replace the LVDS cable alone, but it's kind of a tricky install if you're not comfortable working on your own electronics, and the bezel will look like crap when you get it back on. So you're probably looking at a replacement display assembly.
