Dropped Acer Laptop faulty display help

I’ve been given a Laptop that has been dropped a few times by the looks of it.

It’s an Acer Aspire 1682WLMi has the 9700 graphics.

The display shows a lot of corruption with seems to be coming from the motherboard if you flex the case it can clear it with pressure applied to it.

I was hoping to get this working for the kids. Anybody know where the display ribbon / cable attaches to the motherboard does it go to the graphics card?

Thanks Dutch

I will upload some pics later.
