Hello-

 

Recently (within the last 2 weeks) my Inspiron 8000 began having display problems.  The LCD screen will be working fine and will all of a sudden become fuzzy with dark lines through it sometimes coovering the whole screen, sometimes just part of the screen.  Sometimes it happens instantly, sometimes it's a slow gradual process that gets fuzzier as the time goes on.

 

Most of the time, I can correct the problem by shifting the angle of my screen, or by playing around with the computer itself (putting pressure on some parts, placing something underneath, twisting it slightly, etc.)  Because of this I suspect some sore of loose connection, and would like help with how to fix this problem.

 

Also around the same time, I noticed a red blinking light next to the battery icon on the computer (not the screen).  My battery will all of a sudden only charge to 97%, and the red light continues to blink.  What might be causing this and how may I resolve it?

 

Thanks.
