Well, an electronics engineer wouldn’t spend too much time wondering about the exact reason this is happening but would quickly connect the laptop to an external monitor to see if the video output is ok.
If the video output to the monitor is perfect but the LCD panel’s is not then…
1. Replace the LCD cable with connector.
2. Replace the LCD panel altogether.
If not then…
3. Reheat the joints in the area of the video chipset on the motherboard (with a heat gun)
4. Replace a relevant daughter board if it exists.
5. Replace the motherboard itself.
Of course he's got the advantage of a workshop with parts and everything.
Reballing?

Yep - sounds like an electronics engineer 
Are you? My admirations to you! I guess I was lucky to find you
I admit I never thought to check the vga with another display - I just googled my problem...
The chip is on the motherboard so I think replacing it would be costly.
I replaced a hinge on that thing myself and it cost me some 100 euro so...
When a new laptop is 350-400 euro it kinda doesn't make sense to keep spending on it too much.
And now come to think of it I spent 850 CYP on it when I fist bought it...
I see no reballing in your list of solutions - why is that?

Bob, assuming you haven’t already fried that motherboard as a result of your ESD…
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Motherboard_H ... Procedures
…just take it to a workshop and get on with life because this job is obviously over and above your knowledge/skills.
No offence intended mate but you gotta know when to quit...
