Dell 7500 - Screen Woes

I have a guy's laptop that will not display on the LCD screen, other that flickering on and off several times for a few seconds each time both at boot and shutdown. The screen shows the proper picture, except that everything is tinted reddish. Everything displays properly when sent to an external monitor.

Dead screen, or is there something I can do to troubleshoot this old thing?

Thx.

Could be the graphics card is going or the ribbon from the motherboard to the LCD is loose
