Hi, Since a month or so now my screen seems to be flickering. Sometime randomly, sometime when stuff happen on the screen like scrolling a pdf directly in gmail. I’m suspecting it could be link to gpu because when i disable gpu acceleration in chrome, the problem seems to be less likely to happen Drivers all updated. I just flashed the BIOS to update it with Lenovo’s tool. The flickering don’t happen when i move the computer, which suggest to me that it’s not a cable problem (Moving it around should increase the chance for flickering ?) Any suggestion ?
I found a way to eliminate the problem so far, by choosing the balanced power option instead of performence. (If you want to keep the perf plan, go in the plan setting and change Intel(R) Graphics Power Plan to balanced on battery, it seems to mitigate the problem !) If someone has a better idea…
Find a reputable soldering laboratory with ability to refurbish BGA components. It will be fairly simple procedure for them and will repair the connectivity issues between circuit board and graphics processing unit.
