I don't think my problem is solvable other than by taking the computer apart, but it's worth a shot.

my laptop's screen has flickering problems, with horizantal lines across the screen sometimes, especially when I move the screen, the problem is aliviated when I shake the screen again, and it become perfect as before. I assume this is a faulty connection between the computer itself and the screen?

 well it could be two things. The video card is lose or the connector to the screen. My old Alienware was doing a similar thing, I just had to push the video card back into its sockets. 

 How can I get at a laptop without voiding the warantee. Anyway, surely if was the connection to the video card, it would react to me hitting the computer (keyboard area) rather than the screen itself

umm.. cant.. but if its under warranty go have it repaired CC does do warranty work. 

It's being picked up tommorow, but I was just seeing if there was an easier solution, I don't know how I'm going to live without a computer
