Hello,
I have a Dell inspiron I8000 laptop. Whenever my laptop is jiggled about, the screen gets grainy and the color looks like the negative exposure of the original. If you shake it some more the problem shifts over the screen, until finally going away until you move it again (not the whole screen gets screwy, its spotty). I figured maybe there was a cable lose somewhere on the inside, so I just now took it apart :) My first time doing this and its a little differen't from a PC but I got it off. I dont know what to check though, there is one cable going from either the screen/keboard half to the bottem half of laptop. Any suggestions on what I can try?
 
I took out some wires and put them back in making sure they were in good, after putting back together, no more problem.
