Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi display issues

[tibimakai]

I have picked up for a few bucks this laptop and I was told that the laptop is not working.
When I hooked up to an external monitor I have realized that the laptop did work, it was a display issue.
It showed a white screen with a bunch or random vertical lines on.
I have noticed that if I bend at the corners the whole display assembly, I have a nice image, but as I let it go, the image freezes, the mouse stops moving.
I thought that it's a bad display and I have purchased another used one.
Today has arrived the replacement used screen and with this display it does the same thing. What else can be?
I know TVs have bad tab bonding issues, but laptops have as well, or it could be a bad video cable? How can I test the cable?
Any help would be appreciated.

check your cable with multimeter continuity test.

Check the LVDS cable well if there is any oxidation,
sometimes it causes problem too.
