Hey there,

To be fast I'd like to say the screen is waving randomly while in charging or not. Tried some tricks I mean methods to find out what's wrong: Without battery waving a lot, with battery randomly and incrementally waving.

Here's a video of it.
 
Hi,

It seems like that the GPU is your suspect in your case. Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First is to do a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then boot it back on and see if the same problem will persist.
- Next is if the same problem will persist do connect an external monitor and see if the same problem will happen on it or not.
- If the external monitor will display the same symptoms that means it's the GPU.
- But if the external monitor will work normally that could only mean that the problem is the built in display.
- Do try doing a clean install of the graphics card driver that may also help.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Intel graphics driver.
- Next is to open Programs and Features then uninstall anything related to Intel.
- Once uninstalled, download and install the latest driver.

- Reboot the laptop once the latest driver has been installed then test it again.
