Erazer X6807 - Screen constantly flickering

[Nonmortuus]

Hi all,

I had a power blip the other day and now the screen on the Erazer X6807 is flickering constantly. I have tried the usual software fixes, drivers, rollback on Windows, fresh install etc and the issue is still there so appears to be a hardware fault. Games etc run fine if I use an external monitor. Does this sound like an inverter problem and does it mean I need a new screen or could it be something else?

Thanks

hello @Nonmortuus and welcome
If you're lucky, it has nothing to do with the power failure and it's just the ribbon cable to the display or where it's plugged in that has contact problems.

Does the behavior change drastically when you slowly close the screen?

Hi @Fishtown , the issue remains regardless if how I close the lid however I have noticed if I turn the brightness down to 0 the issue goes away.
