The host is the most important thing here, since I am finding it hard to get a full replacement for the screen. If someone has an answer for a fix, that would be awesome.

    To be clear, if it he happened on and off that eliminates a bunch of potential causes. It is entirely possible this is just a loose ribbon cable or similar, though it could be a different kind of intermittent. Does it happen on an external monitor? What about a live USB? Both of those will isolate whether it is hardware or software to some degree.

      No problems on external monitor. Only the built-in has issues. I would like to be able to take it places. The issue is so intermittent that I can’t chase it down to one cause. I haven’t tried a live usb yet - I will do so as soon as I can.
