- CDisassemble the display enclosure to replace the internal CCFL backlight inverter board.
- DPerform a complete operating system clean reinstallation before checking physical hardware connections.
Answer
The technician should re-seat the video cable at both connection ends and test with a known-good video cable.
Intermittent screen flickering and brief signal drops are most commonly caused by loose physical cable seats or faulty signal conductors inside the video cable. Re-seating cable ends and swapping for a known-good cable are quick, non-destructive diagnostic actions.
