Hi! Since a week or two my screen has started flickering occasionally, dependent on the angle it’s in. Once it does I just have to tilt it a little back or forth to find a non-flickering position. Not a pro whatsoever, but this has lead me to believe the issue may be my display cable a) not connecting fully on either side or b) being worn out/damaged'''. Am I correct that it most likely is the display cable and, if so, which of the two options would you guess?''' It’s only about 3 years old, but I do carry it in a not ''incredibly'' protective bag quite often.
Also, '''is this issue (or the issue you suspect it is) worth fixing myself, or should I go to a professional?''' I’d describe myself as unexperienced yet curious with a pretty good ability of understanding tech(nical information). Only experience with electronics was fixing my OnePlus' charging port, volume buttons and speaker. Though I did end up not properly reconnecting the two buttons next to the home button & wearing out one screw, so I ended up leaving them disconnected. I think that about describes my ability, lol. But really it was fun, I will make sure to take more care now, and I will buy an extra set of screws.
Then, '''for the repair: how should I go about it, and what tools do I require?''' Any videos to watch, or guides to read? Tips for buying parts, shipped to The Netherlands? And anything I should ''absolutely not'' cheap out on?
