Hello, I have a M17X laptop from late 2013. My display is flickering when moved in different orientations. Initially i thought it was a screen issue so i disconnected the power and display connection to the screen. After cleaning and reseating the issue still occurred. Could it be a loose or defective cable in the screen or could it be a issue with the video card?

Yes . you are correct, fault con be coming from Video card, LCD cable and LCD as well Trace it, Check the graphic configuration set it to default level and see whats going on if same fault observed, Connect you M17X to external Display and check any sign of flickering if yes - fault coming from your Graphic chip if no - you can determined LCD or Display cable make the trouble and both of coming together and you can the Display with cable
