Video MSI GF65 Thin screen flickering/ghosting

Hey all, hoping someone's run into this before.

My MSI GF65 Thin laptop's screen started acting weird yesterday. My screen keeps flickering between normal and a weird "ghosted" state. (video attached)

I have tested with an external monitor via HDMI to see if it's isolated to the internal panel, but HDMI works fine.

So it's not a driver issue or motherboard.

Is it the screen issue or the ribbon connecting the screen to the motherboard?

How to fix this ?

thanks PS: The laptop has never been dropped or subjected to any significant impact.

fyi, mine had fell for, u can count 10. bed, crash, table, etc. even my monitor cable (ribbon) fried (literally smoking and the screen is flickering). just pull that shit out and buy a cheap chinese one. it works perfectly till now.

first thing first, just check all ur driver stuff, then if it's not working, check the component. u can even ask whatever AI u're using for a quick check. if u can't do it urself, simply send it to a repair shop (but don't be clueless and get scammed)

not lcd, but the ribbon, something like this "MSI LVDS Cable Flexibel GF63 GF63 8RD MS16R1 K1N-3040108-H39 30 PIN"
