That looks like the internal video cable (LVDS) to me.
sterile rock
is there anything i can do
cuz i used to just leave it half the screen black and after like 5 mins it would go back to normal

You can try re-seating it. If it uses eDP it should be digital and that shouldn't happen (Digital is either on/off)
LVDS is analogue

can u explain in simple terms lol

@sterile rock External monitors work like normal?

I noticed
LVDS is the older type of cable. It's analogue and analogue can have issues like this where the image just splits, parts are missing or you get a snow effect like on old TVs
Digital is either there or it isn't. So you don't really get this kind of effect.

Try just re-seating the cable. What model laptop is this?
sterile rock
asus tuf f15
foggy elbow
The full model number
sterile rock
lemme see
foggy elbow
Or take a picture of the sticker on the bottom of the laptop

I'm seeing shops that sell replacement LVDS replacement cables at least so it probably uses LVDS (It's aliexpress so it being a scammer isn't out of the question)
Going to check a video, sec

alr

@sterile rock Also, we can't really know if it's the connection on the motherboard or monitor side. We just really hope it's the motherboard side because removing the bezel to get to it on the monitor side is a pain in the ass on most laptops

Doesn't look like it.
I found a video of guy doing a full disassembly on an FX506H which is hopefully quite similar inside
Video link with timestamp if you want the entire thing: https://youtu.be/q2Fc2YYt9Qs?t=573
And to be clear, with re-seating, I mean just unplugging it and plugging it back in
The cable has a flip latch, you flip the latch up before you pull the cable out
You see where the red line ends, that's part of the hinge mechanism. This cable goes through the hinge so they can also die at this point from being flexed back and forth all the time. Replacing the cable means removing the bezel from the monitor as well. Which is not fun.

so i should try re seating it first and then if it doesnt work replace the cable

What?
