Obviously it's not the display. I haven't heard of it lately, but years ago "chip creep" was prevalent primarily on video cards because of the additional heat generated, greater heat=greater expansion and contraction and the chips would creep out of their sockets and cause the exact symptoms you're describing on desktops. Don't know enough about your laptop, but it may be worth it to open it up and press on the video chips
