I have an Asus V1V, which is the same as the Asus V1S except for the video card.

I have a problem where the screen will randomly lose brightness or flicker between being lit and not lit.

The picture below is of the left hinge, with the cover removed. Pressing one of these cables affects this behaviour, and pressing it in place will resolve the issue for a few hours.

My guess means the inverter cable is damaged, based on previous experience.

As the picture shows, there are two cables, an LCD cable and what I assume is an inverter cable.

I purchased an LCD cable for my model of laptop, but have been unable to find an inverter cable. It seems not to exist.

I would like some input on if an inverter cable actually exists, if it is likely the problem, or solutions in general to resolve this problem permanently.
