The base came with standard onboard, but you could also select a dedicated graphics card at the time of purchase (2 different motherboards, actually) and the one graphics card on the latter is actually replaceable. It might also be the LCD or ribbon cable. Press around on the screen as well around all the edges, and gently on the screen itself towards the center on the top side maybe 2 inches down from the bezel, also try pressing firmly on the plastic above the keyboard. If its a cable issue sometimes pressing will cause the issue to go away/get worse and tell you that it maybe a cable issue/loose connection. As stated could be the screen itself. If your machine is the one with a dedicated graphics card, chances are buying a new laptop may be the better option, unfortunately in my experience they seem somewhat difficult to source, and when I have found them they’re quite expensive ~$250 JVG if you would like to bring it to my shop this week in Clifton Park, I’ll take a look at it and see whats going on. PM me if you’d like. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-laptop-support/254845)._
