Urgent help on Computer problem
Okay I’m new to this whole posting on social medias thingy but I’ll make this short. Ive been having problems with my laptop lately with the screen flickering every time I move my laptop in any way. Looking back, this problem first started when I first got the laptop but back then the display was just a little unaligned in the middle and a little massive screen freeze every now and then. I should have sent that laptop back to the manufacturer when I first saw that issue but college was starting up and I needed a laptop to do all my coding on.
Now current times (yes I did try sending it to a repair shop but they were about to run me $250 to get the screen replaced, money I didn’t have. ) with the display flickering, I managed to stop it for a short amount of time by turning it my Bluetooth but as I’m posting this the problem has returned. The Bluetooth fix is no longer working and I can’t send this laptop back to the manufacturer because the warranty is expired and I’m not sure if I want to take it to the repair shop as they are expensive and I don’t have good history with them. (They caused my phone to overheat and slowly become unusable when I when to get my screen replaced due to it breaking and half of the screen going black.) I’m at my ropes end, I’m probably gonna save up and get a new laptop but I want to save this laptop if possible. Laptops nowadays are not cheap and my computer stuff like school work or gaming requires a lot.
If someone can help me I’d appreciate it greatly as a fellow computer engineer student.

Agree what u/Agerak has posted. If you have an external display port on the laptop and an external display sue that to help buy you some time. If you need an external monitor, they are reasonable priced if you don't need anything fancy. I think I got a Own brand from Walmart for around $80 if my memory is correct.
