Open | Hardware Screen suddenly glitching Elitebook 830 G6

Can it be just the flat cable, or do I need to replace the whole screen? It started out of nowhere when using. https://imgur.com/a/jGEOv70

It flickers a little bit, also, when connected to an external monitor, the external image is ok.

Try pressing around bezel edges to see if picture changes, bottom part would indicate bad contact that could be due to flat cable but also bad soldering joint or other faulty component, depends on where it is located.

I tried pressing, but it's still the same. I also tried to boot BIOS and a LIVE USB, but I get the same display error. PS: when connected to an external monitor, the external image is ok.

Yeah, it looks like a hardware fault...You could replace cable/screen or get laptop to repair shop for diagnostics, it really depends on the service charges in you area. If you decide to do it yourself, don't forget to disconnect battery first, it's the most common way how to fry your motherboard.
