I had the same problem. Its the display IC on the motherboard. One or more solder points on the IC are not making a good connection. A reflow of the board should fix the bad point.

Thanks for the help everyone. (Sorry for the long response. Had no access to internet for two weeks...) :D
Yeah, I'm 100 percent sure the LCD ribbons are connected properly.
Which part is the display IC? (Picture?) What is reflowing, and do I have to buy a machine to "reflow" the board?

Yeah you're gonna need some more tools and a relowing station to reflow the IC. It's pretty hard.
