I've got an Alienware M9700 that's going on 4 years old now. I've been having problems with he monitor backlight flickering (I think the cable is pinched somewhere) well this morning the monitor just turned completely off. Usually if it's the backlight acting up I can just wiggle the monitor and it comes back on, but not this time. I restarted it and it shows the bios & windows loading screens but it has some weird lines all over and just goes completely black after the windows screen. I went into my bios settings and it seems I can stay in there for as long as I want without the monitor shutting off but I still have the weird lines on my screen. Pic below...any ideas?
