Your symptoms and alleviation are pointing more and more toward a hardware issue, and you will have to address it or replace the laptop. There is no additional advice that I, or anyone, can offer that will change this fact. Your best options at this point are probably to either purchase a new laptop, or check the used laptop market in your area and see if there's a used laptop you're willing to take a risk in buying. | |

Nevertheless, the fact that physical pressure seems to alleviate the problem some of the time really suggests a hardware issue, not an inadequacy of resources. Note that inadequacy of resources, a failing disk, and other issues may also be present; it's likely not going to be cost-effective to keep shotgunning repair attempts - hence my recommendation to save up and replace. | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 14:48 | comment | added | KillerHawx | @JeffZeitlin, I replace the screen at around 2k bucks and new laptop would cost around 35k(average quality) and I have also changed the cable that connects the laptop and display that too cost 1.5k bucks and the thing is I think that maybe VRAM is not enough (128MB) and because of that when I watch a video, it crosses the limit and causes flickering | |

| Jan 11, 2018 at 14:29 | comment | added | Jeff Zeitlin | As regards the screen flicker, I would really suspect the connector between the system/graphics board and the monitor; replacing the display that many times and the temporary alleviation you've described is strongly suggestive. That doesn't rule out other problems, however, and you're probably well-advised to save your pennies and replace the laptop. | |
