Hp Pavilion Notebook screen flickering

Bought this computer yesterday and I use it for many hours consecutively. I turned it off last night and didnt have it plugged in all night and when I turned it on today it didn't start flickering until 7 tonight. I'm not sure if maybe it's a setting or if something is actually wrong with it. It's pretty irritating though. Thanks in advance

If you can plug it into external display , if that one is OK , well then your LCD cable is broken.

Video connector keeps disconnecting (Screen flickers on and off)

Hi,
I bought a HP Pavilion Notebook 14-v054ca two weeks ago. Last week, the screen was flickering on and off, so I took it to the shop. They said the video connector was knocked loose and asked me if I dropped the laptop. The laptop is on my desk 24/7 and I have not dropped it once (I only had it for a week)! I have a warranty, so they replaced my laptop for me. Sadly, all my data was wiped, but hey, things happen.
I digress.
Here I am with my second brand new HP Pavilion Notebook 14. I want to make sure the screen incident doesn't happen again, so I open and close the lid as gently as I can. Guess what. One week later, the video connector disconnected yet again. Is the 14-v054ca just a line of faulty, defective laptops? I hope that is not that case, because I love HP to death. I have an HP desktop and I am extremely satisfied with it. I don't want to trade this laptop in again just to have it happen a third time. It's an utter waste of time, and I lose my data every single time they give me a new one.

Hello, @PongV2
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you've bought two notebooks and both have had an issue with flicker screen. That this was identified from where you purchased it as a loose connector.
To get assistance on this and to see what could be done for you on the issue, I recommend contacting phone support.

For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide. Learn How to Post and More How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?  I understand that when you connect your TV to your HP laptop via HDMI the TV screen flickers. If you connect the TV to your PS3 it does not. You have tried different refresh rates and resolutions but there was no change. Your notebook has HDMI version 1.4 supporting up to 1920 ×1200 @ 60Hz as stated in the maintenance and service guide. Please note chapter 1 page 9 under Ports. HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to try and obtain any HP updates? Have you done all your Windows updates? You can also manually check the HP Drivers & Downloads   page. You will need to input your exact model and follow the prompts to display your recommended software and drivers. Please note HP is doing some updates to their web site and you may need to try later to access the page. You could try a different HDMI cable just to rule that out.

HP Pavilion Blue Screen

Hi,
I need help for my HP Pavilion Notebook.
The Model Details are as below:
Model:dv4-1551dx
OS: WIndows 7 64 Bit
Place of Purchase: Best Buy at Torrance ,California
My Problem:
I am getting a Blue Screen Shut down with KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR.
I have run the CHKDSK Repair, it ran for 12 hours and replaced a number of bad sectors. Then I ran the HDD Self test and got error that "Hard Disk Test Failed" and no reason code. I have gone through the forum and found that the experts always suggested to replace the Hard Disk. Can any of the experts can kindly help me with the following:
1.Do I need to replace the Hard Disk
2.If it is Yes, then how can I restore the system?
3.If I need to have the Restore Disk, unfortunaltely I do not have that. I am presently staying in Munich Germany. Can I order one for my Computer and Germany. I tried in the HP Deutschland website and it could not find my model number.
4.Is there any other way to get past the Blue Screen Error?
I will really appreciate your help in this regards.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Straciatella,
Here is a document that will show you how to create your own disk. You can use either blank DVD’s or a USB flash drive.
Here is a document that shows how to restore the system, I wouldn’t recommend this, mainly because you will have to replace the hard drive eventually.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

Xf86-video-intel: Screen flickering

Hi,
my notebook screen (Lenovo Thinkpad X1) is flickering sporadically. This problem does not occur when using a live-CD. Moreover, the screen cables seem to be tightly connected. So I think that the problem results from the XServer or xf86-video-intel. I do not use a xorg.conf and i don´t have specified a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-monitor.conf.

Screen Flickering - 15-4000ee HP Spectre Touchsmart

Hi,
The screen on my HP Spectre Touchsmart 15-4000ee has started to flicker - it comes and goes, but affects the whole screen and lasts for 5 to 10 seconds then disappears.
According to HP Support Assistant, my current video adaptor is Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (resolution 1920 x 1080; refresh rate 60), Version: 10.18.10.3621 (16/05/14).
Can you please advise what might be the problem. I found another driver on the HP website, however it is an older version than the one I currently have.
Thank you

Hi @CameronAll
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I saw your post regarding the screen flickering. Start by connecting your notebook to an external monitor. This way we can see if it is a hardware problem with the screen or a driver/software issue.
You can also try testing your notebook for a hardware problem. This HP document Testing for Hardware Failures will show you how to use the UEFI tools to test the hardware. Run the System Test – Extensive Test.

Late 2008 Macbook Pro Screen Flickers?

So I seem to have the problem that many other people have with the late 2008 Unibodies with the 9400m where the screen flickers every once in a while. I didnt pay attention before because it happened like once a week, but this morning it started happening every couple of minutes.
The bad part, my computer is out of apple care =/ How much do you guys think it'll cost me to get this fixed at apple? Also, if I do get it repaired by them, will I have any warranty after the repair so this issue does not happen again? Because from what I've read, when people sent it in for repair, sometimes it didn't get fixed.
Thanks guys.

I would call Apple Customer Relations.

10.6.5 and screen flickering on MacBook Pro Mid 2010

Ever since i got my 15" laptop (about 2 months ago) i would get screen flickering on external monitor once in a while (once or twice an hour). This did not bother me that much and i just accepted it. Flickering issues always happened only on external monitor. I keep my laptop closed, so internal display is off.
10.6.5 upgrade escalated this issue from one or two an hour to one flicker every few seconds. This is annoying. Very annoying.
I tried to delete all caches (user, library, system), reset PRAM, re-applied 10.6.5 combo update, repair permissions and delete windowserver preferences (user and library). Nothing helped. Unchecking "Automatic graphics switching" makes no difference.
The only thing that made a difference was to open the lid. Once i have both (external and internal) working, flickering stops.
Any ideas on other troubleshooting things to try?

I have quiet similar problem as described but it is on my macbooks screen. It blinks while I am working and sometimes blinks instead of dimming the display. It also flickers at 40% to 50% brightness while going dim, which camera won't capture.
I am sending you links to the two videos I was able to make, most of the time it won't blink when I video it.

Lucky to have some proof. But Apple guys still denying it to be a problem at this stage, I have got its display changed twice and logic board replaced. But the problem persists.
Help! me to understand and explain the issue.

MacBook Pro screen flickers and freezes after Snow Leopard/Safari 5 updates

Hi guys,
I have a silver 120GB 15-inch MacBook Pro from Summer 2007 with 3GB RAM and 25+GB free space which has recently begun to freeze irrecoverably. The first appearance of these symptoms seems to coincide with my installing the Snow Leopard 10.6.6 update via Software Update.
I'm not particularly well versed in computer technology, but will try to describe my problem as detailedly as possible.
What happens is this:
1. I start the computer as per usual, with only a couple of startup items. Everything's fine.
2. I start working. Use a lot of Safari 5 for browsing websites, often with some kind of Flash or "Flash-type" content such as banner ads, videos, even full Flash designs. I may also have programs such as QuickTime, VLC or an image editor open, if not necessarily "actively" doing anything. Everything's still fine - I'm able to both browse websites and watch videos as usual.
3. After a while of active working - say, 1-3 hours - I notice browsing websites gets a little choppy. Display features such as the file list view in Finder may or may not appear properly. The rotating wait cursor may or may not appear from time to time.
4. Immediately after symptom no. 3, the next time I start to watch a video, either via Safari 5 (say for example something on DailyMotion.com) or a file via QuickTime, something goes wrong.
Following no. 4, one of three things invariably happen:
5a) The video freezes and the entire screen flickers from black to the screen view very quickly two or three times, after which the computer or screen appears to freeze. The cursor still moves, but nothing reacts to it - open windows become completely unresponsive, nor does the top or any other menu react in any way to clicking. The "menu row" of application items, which normally appears when I move the cursor to the very bottom of the screen, doesn't appear. Restarting "blindly" by pressing the Off-button once and pressing R doesn't work. I'm forced to do a hard reboot, after which the computer is once again fine until the next two hours of active working. This usually happens ONLY when I try to watch a video in Full Screen-mode.
5b) I notice the video freezing only just in time, and am able to pause it and "esc" out of Full Screen-mode, and the computer remains operational. However, as soon as I again try to play video in Full Screen-mode, everything described in 5a. happens.
5c) The video stops playing, and the screen reverts momentarily to pale blue before switching to the login screen. I login again with my details, and everything appears to be fine again until the next two hours of active working. The computer "starts up" a lot faster than with a hard reboot. This usually happens ONLY when I've tried to watch a video in its original size, i.e. when not in Full Screen-mode.
This happens 1-4 times a day, and it appears to depend directly on how much work I've been doing on the computer. The less I use it in the course of a day, the longer it takes until the next time it freezes.
So, in a way, I'm able to replicate this problem. 95% of the time the screen has frozen while watching or starting to watch (usually already when starting to watch) video footage, but it has also frozen a couple of times just switching between e.g. Safari 5 and an image editor or browsing a website with a Flash banner ad or embedded video content (which however hasn't necessarily been playing); today, the screen froze when I tried to open a website made entirely with Flash.
Although it could be just a coincidence, I believe this issue first appeared when I updated Snow Leopard to 10.6.6 via Software Update alongside some other pending updates, including as far as I recall one for Safari 5. The update process appeared to have gone well at the time, though, and was not interrupted in any way. I have never had this specific problem with the computer/screen before, though.
I've read a couple of threads here regarding very similar issues with newer MBP models than mine, in which it has been suggested that the fault may lie in a malfunctioning NVIDIA GeForce graphics card. Now I've had that replaced already once because my screen went unexpectedly completely blank after a forced reboot 1-2 years ago (I don't remember exactly), but according to my System Profiler info the card still a GeForce 8600M GT. Can it be failing again?
I've also had some kind of a RAM card failure once. As far as I understood it, one of the RAM cards had fried and was preventing the computer from starting up. I replaced the bad 1GB card with a new 2GB one and the problem was resolved. Before the computer died, there were also other symptoms, but they were not similar to these.
I'm also doing the Apple Hardware Test tomorrow. Any other suggestions, though, than the graphics card?
*Could this have to do with Flash or Safari 5?* Just hear me out. Even though my computer has frozen from watching a video in just QuickTime, Safari 5 has always been open in the background at the same time, and more likely than not with websites with "Flash" content open. And come to think of it, before I performed the Snow Leopard and Safari 5 updates, I used to have daily problems viewing Flash video in Safari 5, the video content either suddenly showing up as "Plug-in Failure" or crashing the browser; I've had both Safari 5 and the Safari 5 Flash plug-in "quit unexpectedly" countless times in the past, almost daily. Sometimes the "Plug-in Failure" could be fixed just by refreshing the browser view; at other times, Safari 5 would stop showing Flash content altogether - Flash banner ads (such as Google ads), YouTube and other Flash videos, everything - until I quit and restarted Safari 5. BUT - since the day I updated everything via Software Update, I don't remember this happening; it never gets to "Plug-in Failure" now. Could it be worth trying to use e.g. just Firefox for a while or is there something (e.g. Adobe Flash) that I could try reinstall? Or am I just clutching at straws here?
Thanks for reading this long, long post!

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, it may be worth making an appointment at the genius bar and having them run the test for the NVIDIA problem. Since your replacement logic board still has the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT video chip, it could be starting to happen to your replacement logic board.
I also agree with all of CMCSK's suggestions. Freezing is often associated with hard drive problems. You might also want to run SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a very comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive. If you still have the original one from 2007, it's getting pretty long in the tooth and may be approaching the end of its average useful life of 3-5 years. I just recently had to replace my original 2007 Fujitsu drive.
If your drive is headed south, and is also too small, it may be time to upgrade to a larger and faster drive.
The software update probably didn't cause the problems, but it may have exposed problems that were already in existence.
Good luck!
