I'm currently using my brother's laptop, and for the past couple of months, I've noticed a few lines of dead pixels appearing at the top of the screen. Lately, the screen has also started shaking up and down continuously, which is pretty concerning because it makes everything blurry. I'm worried about my brother finding out about this issue, and I really need some advice on how to fix it. I can't take it to a tech store, so I'm hoping for some suggestions on what to do since it's challenging to use the laptop in this condition.

It sounds like a rough situation! If you can't connect to an external monitor or open the laptop, maybe try using the laptop in Safe Mode to see if the flickering goes away. Sometimes, software conflicts can cause display issues. If that doesn’t help, it might be time to consider taking it to a professional for repairs when you can.
Have you tried connecting the laptop to an external monitor or TV via HDMI? That way, you can see if the problem is with the screen or the graphics hardware. If the external display looks fine, consider reinstalling or updating your video drivers. If that doesn't work, it could be a loose or damaged cable inside the laptop causing the flickering. Opening it up could help, but if you’re not familiar with hardware, it may be safer to get a replacement display instead. By the way, what kind of laptop and operating system are we dealing with?
