Photos of the questionable LVDS cable:

This laptop was having ocassional LCD glitch issues for a while. Since it has persisted, I replaced the LVDS cable and applied new tape to make sure the problem is fixed; I have a few spare cables. If it doesn’t, I need to try a display to rule out the GPU (somewhat common on this model). I don’t think the cable will come loose:

HOWEVER, I inspected the old cable to see if it’s good to see if it can still be used. When doing that, I noticed multiple unusual kinks. I have attached pictures of the kinks that look unusual.
I don’t think this cable is kinked (or if it is, it doesn’t matter) but the ones I shown in the photos do raise some concerns. Does it look normal or does the cable I removed look like it had hidden damage that created the display problems?

This laptop was having ocassional LCD glitch issues. Since it persisted multiple times and has never went away, I am trying a new LVDS cable since I have some on hand as I built this notebook from parts. I am hoping this solves the problem. HOWEVER, I inspected the cable I removed to see if it’s good and I can use it as a spare but I noticed what appears to be multiple kinks. I have attached pictures to this question.

I also noticed the original tape wasn’t as good as I remember it, so I also appled new tape to be sure I fixed the problem so I can properly figure out if the issue is because of a bad GPU (not unheard of on the nc6000) or the display has an issue. The condition of the original tape used at the factory didn’t look good enough to reuse.

I also noticed the original tape wasn’t as good as I remember it, so I also needed to apply new tape, rather then reuse the original tape. Usually this works well, so I didn’t give a thought to new tape but I also applied new tape to be sure the replacement won’t come loose. The condition of the tape (and the tape I applied)can be seen in these photos.

I don’t think this cable is kinked as I compared it to another one and I notice similar kinks in other areas, but the ones I shown here are concerning. Do these look normal or does it look like the LCD problems I had was related to the original cable?
