I have a Lenovo G530 laptop that has an issue with screen flicker that is getting worse. The computer screen will start going thru a crazy screen flicker then will stop and start again. I have already checked cable connection to lcd on motherboard and reseated connection as someone suggested in another posting I found online that resolved issue. I am starting to think it might be a bad inverter or screen because I have hooked up laptop to external monitor and it is running fine with no flickering happening when the flickering is occurring on laptop. I am attaching a link to a small video I shot of the issue as it is occurring on laptop screen.
Does anyone have any further suggestions? Bad inverter or screen?

Usually a flicker is caused by the inverter or the actual internal signal cable itself. If you feel up to it, I'd crack the case and just reseat the video cable - that might fix the problem.
EDIT: Oh, hey, look what I found! Hehehe. (The G530 is an awful machine. I used to do support for ThinkPads and we'd get misdirected calls for these things a lot, so I've heard the gamut - you're not the first person with this problem.)
