Screen is flickering. How do I fix it?
Before I forget: I’ve actually got the HP Probook 450 G5, but couldn’t select that one so I figured this one was the closest to it.
Hi! Since a week or two my screen has started flickering occasionally, dependent on the angle it’s in. Once it does I just have to tilt it a little back or forth to find a non-flickering position. Not a pro whatsoever, but this has lead me to believe the issue may be my display cable a) not connecting fully on either side or b) being worn out/damaged. Am I correct that it most likely is the display cable and, if so, which of the two options would you guess? It’s only about 3 years old, but I do carry it in a not incredibly protective bag quite often.
Also, is this issue (or the issue you suspect it is) worth fixing myself, or should I go to a professional? I’d describe myself as unexperienced yet curious with a pretty good ability of understanding tech(nical information). Only experience with electronics was fixing my OnePlus' charging port, volume buttons and speaker. Though I did end up not properly reconnecting the two buttons next to the home button & wearing out one screw, so I ended up leaving them disconnected. I think that about describes my ability, lol. But really it was fun, I will make sure to take more care now, and I will buy an extra set of screws.
Then, for the repair: how should I go about it, and what tools do I require? Any videos to watch, or guides to read? Tips for buying parts, shipped to The Netherlands? And anything I should absolutely not cheap out on?
