Is there anyone who can help ?

Suddenly the screen became grayish. It is not only in Windows but also while it starts up. If I plug in the HDMI, the picture on the TV is fine and clear. Hope you guys can see the problem on the pictures. It is an HP dv9 series laptop
There was 2 seconds where the screen was flashing green and returned with clear colors again. Also tried moving the screen to see if there was a loose connection. Even took the LCD apart to see if All connections were in place.

Please help

So the video chip is good.
As the other have said, the laptop screen is failing. It could be a resistor or a capacitor. Perhaps the cable connecting the screen to the motherboard is going bad.
 
10% chance that is is the video cable and 90% that it is the screen.

A bad/loose video cable would not cause this.

Good call and as it made no difference it again suggests that it is not the video cable but the screen.
