Lenovo Y50 screen flickering?

I just received my Y50 (not ultra HD)last week on Friday and it has been running great with one small exception... I have been playing Far Cry 3 and sometimes the screen flickers? It happens very rarely but I'm not sure if this is something I should be worrying about & if it could get worse in the future. The game is on Ultra settings and runs perfect aside from these odd screen flickers.

Lenovo Y50-70 screen problem

Hello. Recently, i have bought the Lenovo Y50-70 laptop and it seems that there is some screen problem. I have a feeling that it does flicker sometimes (1-2 per hour, sometimes more). Firstly, I thought that the backlight changes for a second, but then, after more observation, it might be it turning off and on immediately, or the colours fade and return to normal. I can't say for sure, what it is, because it happens very quickly, but the eye catches it anyway and it is kind of annyoing. Moreover, once the screen went completely crazy, it started to turn off and on every 2-3 seconds, big portions of view weren't even displayed, and what wasn't displayed changed every time it turned off and on. There were also green and red dots moving all over, mouse was moving in slowmotion (like I were playing a game in 15 fps). Only the restart helped and it stopped. So the question is, what is wrong and what am I supposed to do? Sorry, if the english is bad, but it isn't my native language.

I live in South Africa. Bought the notebook on 14 July 2015, within 2 weeks I started experiencing the screen flickering and grey lines. I was told by Lenovo to roll back drivers, then update drivers etc. - nothing worked. I returned the laptop to the supplier who in turn sent it to Lenovo. Lenovo has offered to replace the unit. I am hesitant to accept another unit and am thinking of rather getting a refund so that I can buy an Acer Aspire V Nitro (same specs). My previous laptop was an Acer and did not give me a day's trouble. Don't bother trying to update drivers or open the screen to plug it into the motherboard etc. I think the issue is a power supply one and that Lenovo should do a recall of this product. I am just thankful that South Africa has consumer law which forces a supplier to replace, repair or refund a defective product within 6 months from purchase if the consumer wants - so they can't simply repair, if I want a refund, they must give me one. Good luck! PS: This was my first and last Lenovo product!

Lenovo Y510p SLI Screen Flickering

Hello guys,
I know most of the Y510p user have encounter the "Screen flicker like crazy" issue, and yes,i am here to write another thread about this issue.
1.What is the reason that made it happened?
I have checked lots of threads and posts about this issue and tried,neither of them actually do solve the problem.Lenovo also does not really seem to care about this issue too (No offense,but they will just tell you take it to the service center.)
Is it because of faulty processor or graphic cards? or the display or LCD cable is broken?
2.Is there a permanent fix for the problem?
I have seen other user posted about their experience about this model,stating it will still occur after services or changing a new one.I want to know if there is a real solution?
Please share your thoughs and let me know if there is a fix for this. BTW,mine Y510p is still under-warranty.

As you say that the screen flickers while booting as well (at the Lenovo logo or other parts), I believe that this could be a hardware issue related to either the screen or the motherboard.
The only thing I can recommend is to contact Lenovo customer support and send in your laptop for repairs.
You can call them in your country. Find the number from this link -

[SOLVED] Lenovo Y50-70 blank screen on startup

Hello Everybody, I just bought a Lenovo Y50-70, with no operating system. Problem is, I'm not able to enter the UEFI or start the installation media in any way. I'm just presented with a black screen, whatever I do (tried every key while powering on: novo button, F2, DEL, F12, ecc...). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

My screen is also having th "Black Screen of death" but i'm still able to see the notifications from my antivirus, pc booster and all that other stuff. any idea on solving it?

Multiple screens with Lenovo Y50

Hi, My Lenovo Y50 has only 1 HDMI port for display. I would like to connect more than one monitor, so Windows will see two monitors, such that I will be able to use extend mode. This means I don't want a simple hub that splits the display, but something smarter. Is there any solution our there for this?

You can get a USB to HDMI adapter (here's one I found) if you don't mind using up one of the USB ports on your laptop. Should allow you to do multiple displays since you'll have two cables/ports .

G530 Screen Flickering problem

I have a lenovo G-530 laptop computer, and I have been experiencing a common issue with the screen flickering. A few days ago I decided to open up the panel with the power button, and volume butttons, and I noticed that the gray wire on the left side, connecting the monitor to the computer was burnt. I formerly had an IBM machine that lasted me for seven years. This has barely lasted for three years, and the screen doesn't work. I wanted to call lenovo, but since my warranty has ended, they are saying I will be billed for my call. All I need is that little wire, and I can't even call Lenovo for help.

LCD cables can be found on the web,
there should be a tag on the cable with a
"FRU" number to assist in searching for one.
Cable is listed at Lenovospareparts.com but currently
out of stock.
Any reputable computer repair shop in your area should
be able to source a cable and replace it.
Or if you have experience, you can replace and save.
One question I would ask, why did the cable fail?
Any signs of it being pinched? That could break a wire in
the bundle, and cause the short circuit.

[Solved] Lenovo y50 clickpad gestures

Greetings all,
I recently bought a lenovo y50 and went through hell trying to get arch to work on this. Well, after I have everything running nicely, I noticed that the touchpad/clickpad will not respond to multitouch (e.g. no two-finger scroll). I have tried all the drivers on the touchpad and synaptics archwiki pages as well as the settings in both cinnamon and gnome. Nothing seems to change the behavior. Does anyone have any ideas? My hardware shows as Elantech hardware.
SOLUTION:
Find comment #137 from HERE and follow the instructions
This fixed worked for me! Everything works perfect!

Do any of you have the touchscreen variant? I ordered the touchscreen one and it should arrive in the first week of August.
I have the touchscreen variant. It works pretty well, but doesn't detect multitouch. When pressing on the screen it registers as a mouse click+mouse movement, which is how windows 8.1 works.
Well, detecting one touch is better than it not working at all.
Mine got delayed twice, now it's scheduled to ship on August 15 and arrive on the 22nd (2 days after I start school, which is what I bought it for...) (I ordered on June 29). I'm pretty sure Lenovo will delay it again
Dang. Well hopefully it doesn't get caught it customs like mine did (assuming you are in USA). Customs held mine for two weeks! it took a month and a half after I placed the order to get it. Good luck! And by the way, I edited the OP with the solution.

Lenovo Y50 still have the hinge breaking problem?

Do anyone know if the Lenovo Y50 is still having the screen display hinge breaking or exploding from the base problem?

My Laptop has just started falling apart about a month after my warranty ended (of course) here is my list of problems that have been happening since my warrenty ended. 1. The part that the screw actually screws into the part that holds the hinge to the laptop has broken off so my screen is being held on by 1 screw very scary as it could fall of any minute. 2. The plastic piece that covers the hinge will pop off everytime I open my laptop and makes a horrible cracking sound when I have to keep opening my laptop to snap back the plastic piece so that I can use my laptop. I am now using scotch tape to fix this for now very embarrasing when gaming with my friends. 3. I have been slowly losing screws on the bottom of my laptop to hold the whole thing togeather I am now down to 8 out of the 12 that are supposed to be there. A screw just recently fell off and it happend to be the last screw that was holding my screen to the laptop so I had to swap some screws around so that my screen was being held on by something. I was looking for a quality gaming laptop I could take to college and I will be heading off to college in a month! I would not sugguest this laptop and will probably never purchase a lenovo product again as this seems to be a somewhat common problem.

Lenovo Y50 WiGig

I have a stock Lenovo Y50 touch, 1080p screen, GTX 860m, 8gb RAMI have the stock WiFi card in it now but have been doing some research on intel's new WiGig and wireless docking.These Dell DW1601 WiGig cards are pretty cheap and easy to come by so my question is this:1) Can I switch out the cards and will they fit? They both look like half mini PCI-e2) Are there any WiGig Lenovo drivers yet?3) If not, will it work with the Dell drivers? Thanks for your time

Hi Krito007,
Does this issue persist only in battery mode or both in adapter and battery mode? Also update the graphic driver and check for the issue.
Click here for the graphic driver for windows 7(32 bit).
Click here for the graphic driver for windows 7(64 bit).

G500s screen flickering

My G500s laptop's screen flickers frequently but some times doesn't.Also, power & battery indicators behave the same way.
I removed battery & tried to start on only Ac bit it won't start.
Urgent help needed.

Hi Depp,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issues with screen flickering in your Lenovo G500s laptop.
Please try to perform the power drain by removing all the external devices connected to the laptop, shut down the system and remove the battery and adapter. Now press and hold the power adapter for 30 seconds and now connect the battery and adapter and turn on the system and check if the battery indicator flickers. Also check connecting only battery to the system as you have mentioned that only adapter is not working.
For display flickering, if you move the laptop lid will the display flickers stop? , also try to connect the external monitor and check for the issue.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin. S

Possibly moving from a Lenovo y50 to a gs60 pro but have a question.

Hello everyone.
I have a Lenovo y50 touch that is about to be past its return date friday, I love the laptop but sadly there are 2 things wrong with it that are bad enough to make me want another computer.
The first thing is the screen, I have adjusted the color as well as I can and it is still mediocre at best.
Second thing is, you can not use the HDMI out with the gtx 860m, it will only use the Intel graphics. Thus making the idea of the laptop a desktop replacement impossible, that and the terrible screen ruin the laptop.
My main question is if you hook HDMI cable (or the display link) to a monitor will the laptop allow you to use the graphics card for display?
If I go into my nVidia display settings when I have HDMI connected it will not show the external monitor, only the intel software shows it.
I have a week till Friday to fill for an RMA and I would like to get both laptops to compare beforehand. But if the gs60 pro will not be able to function as a true desktop replacement then there is no point in spending the extra cash.
Here is the model I am looking at.

Also what do you guys love/hate the most of the gs60 line?
Thank you!

You can't change the design of external display port.
For GS60, the HDMI port is connected with the Intel Graphics, thus you can only adjust the display settings by using Intel Graphics Properties.

Lenovo Y50-70 UHD display - Gray dots on black background colour just appeared suddenly

Hi support technicians and assistants. 1 month ago 2 gray dots just appeared suddenly on my UHD display on the Lenovo Y50-70. Those can be seen only on black background. The dots are 3 mm long and 2 mm wide and the other one it's smaller. What can I do to fix those? They are very disturbing when I do something on black background! Thank you. If needed I can send pictures.

There are many gray pixels, visible on black background, in that 2 faulty areas because it is a UHD display. A 3 by 2 mm area means many pixels not only a few and there are 2 small areas like this one. I will try the recommandations and return a reply. Thank you.neokenchi wrote:
hi RomulusDaniel, From your description, it looks like you have a stuck pixel. Try to use a software like jscreenfix to fix it. Other methods requires you to put a pressure on the LCD screen (like in this wiki article). If you have a 3mm, 2mm, and a smaller dead pixel (total of 3), then I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings.

Lenovo Y50-70 wont turn on at all

hay , i just bought lenovo y50 last week and very satisfied with the performance but this morning when i try to turn on my laptop from hibernate, the layer sudenly goes white so i decide to hard hard shutdown it but when i try to turnit on again it didnt show any sign of life ( layer and fan didnt turn on etc... ) but the battery charge indicate is on ... i read in the internet that we must take out our battery and push the power button to 5-10 second. but since the lenovo y50 has built in battery and im afraid to take the backcase open because of the warranty so i've tough . anyone can help me?

Hello there,
I just got the same problem this morning with my Y50-70. It suddenly turned off while I was working with Win7, just a black screen, power off. So I tried to power it on again and it failed, simply no reaction at all. The only thing working is the battery LED when the AC connector is plugged in. My Y50-70 is only 5 weeks old and worked without any problems until today ;-(
I called the support at Lenovo and they told me to "hard reset" by pulling the power cable and pressing the power button for 20 seconds....no success at all. Finally after several tries I decided to send my Y50-70 back to Lenovo. It seems to be a hardware problem. Lenovo offer 2 years of warranty for the Y50-70, because of that I decided not to open it. Let´s see how long ist takes until I have my - hopefully working- Y50-70 back.
Perhaps you have more luck than I.
Greetings from Germany!
