Acer Aspire 7739G flickering grey/white striped screen

Screen flickers severely during startup screen for several seconds before I am able to log in. Also flickers once I am logged in, although not nearly as bad, and only every few minutes. The computer is about three years old, and has never been dropped for this to happen.

    if you move the screen or press along the frame or near the hing, the flickers stop?

    if you enter BIOS at boot, press F2, the screen still flickers?

    I am running windows 7, if this helps at all. Sorry if not enough information is supplied to find a solution, I don't know much about computers.

    I put pressure on the frame near the hinges, and the flickering stopped completely, thank you very much! As if it was that easy.

    you welcome. Smiley Happy

    Be aware that probably is the LCD cable going loose.
