acer aspire 5920 screen flicker repair

I bought this laptop in Aug 08 and within 6 months the screen was flickering... badly! Then it went away for a few months and returned with a mission to destroy my life. So I downloaded the repair manual and with the help of the notebookreview.com forum I repaired it. This is the film of the book of the story.

EDIT - I have uploaded a second video to show the screen disassembly and repair to the other end of the LCD cable.

Thanks so much for this video. My screen was flickering and I sent it back to Acer under warranty. It took them 2 months and about 10 letters to "fix my screen". When I got it back the screen was still flickering...I saw your video and I decided to try and fix it myself. I opened up my screen to find all the screws were loose and that there was no tape to secure the cables. Ten minutes later with a screwdriver and a bit of tape my screen problem is history. Thanks so much for the help !!!

Is it hard to just replace the wiring rather than just doing this quick fix? I'm having the same issue, but was looking for a more of

a permanent fix.

OMG>.. I cant believe it..... I spent £70 at our local computer shop to be told it was the inverter which they replaced. Two days later it flickered again and has gotten worse. I opened it up.... put the loo roll in and HEY PRESTO!!!! What more can I say thatn you so much, I will use a sticky pad if it starts to flicker again but so far so good!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video (although I am annoyed at the shop now!!! )

Same problem here with Acer 5530g

Thanks, problem solved. I used a double sided mirror sticky pad rather than a bit of paper towel so hope for a more permanent solution.
