I have a HP laptop that I have been having a issue with lately.

No matter if it is on battery or plugged in, it seems if I move the computer around a bit, the screen flickers to real dark. When dark it has a light flicker to it (as if the refresh rate is real low when dark).
When it is on dark setting, it is darker than it is when I have it on power saver mode. it is too dark to actually see the screen, but still visible.

To fix it I move the computer and screen all around.
It seems to me like it is a wire loose...

My warrenty ran out a few months ago!
Any suggestions?

PS. My last laptop was a compaq (same company as HP) and it had monitor issues after 2 years. The screen no longer works on it. It has about a 20% success rate when turning it on. I just gave up on it and it is now sitting in my closet. I don't think I'll be buying a computer from these guys again.
