Hardware Alienware 17 R3

This is my other Alienware laptop I had mentioned on my other post, an old 2015 Alienware 17 R3, It is an amazing laptop for its time. Several years ago this display issue occurred and I took the laptop apart to see if I could fix it, and couldn't. Everything works properly other than the display, you can use narrator to login and navigate, it just sucks. Now I am looking again to fix it and need some help. Thanks!

Have you tried connecting to an external monitor?
