Screen Flicker then Fade Pavilion dv6t

Hi,
I have had an HP pavilion dv6t-6b00 for about 1.5 years and have been running Windows 7 since I got it. About a month ago, I started having issues with the screen flickering (horizontal lines appear sporadically on the screen, and then the screen displays the same image, and then starts to fade and will fade to black unless I bend the screen). Bending the screen refreshes the display, but usually immediately after bending it (grabbing the side of it and rotating it toward or away from me) the display starts to 'freeze' again. Also, I only notice this issue for about 2-10 minutes after first opening my laptop. After 10 minutes of use, I don't have these problems anymore and I can use the display normally. Going down the page is what I witness in real-time over the course of a minute or so. And, yes, the issue definitely started before I took off the display cover and opened it up. I just did that today.

Did you ever get this fixed? I have the same issue on the same computer. I ordered a replacement screen cable to see if that'll fix it (I'll write something here if it does in case others have the same problem). My problem has been really odd in that I was sure it was a hardware issue for a while (if I bent the screen the right way it fix it for a little while). Then I uninstalled a program (I was using a monitor), and the laptop screen immediately turned on and worked great for like 5 months -- suggesting its a software issue. However, now its back to being unusable.

Help!!!! Xperia Z2 Screen flicker then gone!

I just bought new Z2 12 days ago. Today when i am trying to use the phone, the screen backlight start to flicker from strong to dim for a moment...after i try to adjust the brightness to lowest, the flickering stop. Then i readjust the brightness level to higher level, the screen start to flicker again for a moment then totally gone.... when i connect to sony tv via mhl cable, the phone funnction work perfectly as displayed in tv with touch screen function on the phone, just that no picture on phone screen or is it due to backlight problem? Really feel disappointed with sony....

I apologise for the late reply; there could be a number of reasons for this however it would be worth at least ruling out a software issue by attempting a software repair:
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

Lenovo G530 laptop screen flicker

I have a Lenovo G530 laptop that has an issue with screen flicker that is getting worse. The computer screen will start going thru a crazy screen flicker then will stop and start again. I have already checked cable connection to lcd on motherboard and reseated connection of lcd to motherboard located under the keyboard as someone suggested in another posting I found online that resolved issue for them. I am starting to think it might be a bad inverter or screen because I have hooked up laptop to external monitor and it is running fine with no flickering happening when the flickering is occurring on laptop.
I am attaching a link to a small video I shot of the issue as it is occurring on laptop screen.
Does anyone have any further suggestions?
Bad inverter or screen?

Qosmio F10-124 - Pixelated screen, flicks into blank, then comes back to normal

It looks like the graphics hardware has failed on a pc bought in April 2005.
This occurred in stages, starting from around the time when I received
1) An automatic download of windows updates and
2) And Adobe upgrade.
In Sept 07. Do not know if this is at all related with the screen malfunctioning.
The screen has at best operated intermittently, with only access being possible using the external VGA port.
The latest Toshiba screen drivers for the WMD operating system did not rectify the problem.
In the last couple of days pixilation has occurred in various parts of the External monitor screen, whilst the laptop was just blank, up to that point the external screen was displaying my work just fine. Occasionally the laptop screen flicked into life and the pixilation has become more prevalent recently. The occurrences of the laptop screen working were random.
I need to have the screen settings such that the external monitor is a mirror of the Laptop screen to do anything on the laptop.
Rebooting the PC has no effect.
The latest symptoms are that the external screen shows that the OS has booted, but there is an alignment problem causing a pattern to appear across the screen, and this is "ghosted" ?? with several iterations of all screen events across the width of the screen output. The Laptop screen is not working at all at present.
Anyone have any ideas what could have caused this, and/or how to fix it??

The graphic card chip seems to malfunction. Your described issue sounds really like a chip fault
But please note that this is only my personal assumption and if you want to be 100% sure whats wrong then you will have to contact the service provider in your country for a detailed check.
In worst case the motherboard must be replaced because the GPU chip is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be removed.

After screen replacement, top half of screen starts by looking normal but then fades to black while bottom half stays bright but with images blury. What might went wrong?

A friend recently gave me their old Macbook pro 15 because they broke the screen and the Apple store quoted them $500-600 to fix it. I looked online and bought a screen of ebay for $170 in hopes of fixing it myself. After getting the screen I hooked it up using the steps I found online. Sadly when I turned it on, the top half of the screen was working apparently normally, but then it faded to black. The bottom half stayed bright with color the whole time but the images were always blurred. When I close the screen with it on, then open it after turning the computer on, the top half lights up with my desktop images as if it is working fine but then fades to black. The bottom is still blurred the whole time. What all could be wrong? Display cable, Inverter cable, not registering the screen or something, the screen is bad? I don't now a ton about all this and I have learned most of what I know from online research. I am not sure if I should send the screen back or if there is another issue. I just want to fix this thing.

Unfortunately, you don't even know the lower half of the computer is working properly, because you didn't have it until after it had been abused. So forget the attached screen for the moment. Connect an external monitor to it, fire it up, and see whether you can get a usable image on the external screen. If you can, send the defective "new" screen back for a refund, or replace the LVDS video cable first to make sure that's not where the problem lies, and if it isn't, then resort to sending the screen back. If you can't get a good image on the external, give the junk machine back to your friend and walk away.

The screen on my 2008 Macbook (aluminum) freezes, snows up and then fades.

The screen on my 2008 Macbook (aluminum) freezes, snows up and then fades away. I have to restart at that time.
I ran the hardware test and it immediately found the following error: 4MEM/1/40000000:0x7a622d18. What's wrong?
Is anyone familiar with this problem/error message?

it means that it is not a hardware issue. Other then that, Im not too sure. Sorry I can't help you any further, but Im sure others members of this forum will read your question and be able to help you. Good luck

My screen is blacked out, it will pop back in for a few then fade back out

my screen is blacked out, it will pop back in for a few then fade back out; does this happen to anyone else?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

IPad 2 screen flicker when quickly sleep then wake. can people test this on their iPad 2?

Hi.
As the title says if i quickly press the sleep/wake button a few times quickly there will be a screen flicker with lines on the screen for a split second, can people test this for me to see if it's software related? 3 of the 5 ipad's i've tested this on has the issue. Does your iPad 2 do this? thanks

This is happening to a lot of iPad 2's. Glad it wasn't just me.
I had my first iPad 2 from the uk launch day and I was disappointed when I realised mine was showing significant lines on the screen when it was activated. It gradually got worse until the point I had to take it back tothe retailer I bought it from (comet uk). I was appaled with their 3 DAY retun period. But, after a loooooong phonecall to their head office and AppleCare and with a great deal of arguing they gave my money back. I then bought one from the apple store. Got home and found that the SAME THING was happening. But worse.
Took it back yet again and got another that finally works.
Just to let you all know it is a hardware fault and it isn't normal. Take it back to wherever you got it. It isn't a software glitch either as I updated to the latest at the time with no luck. Tried wiping all my data off it too with no luck.
I've lost my respect for my iPad 2 and apple as it's ridiculous that everybody hypes the products and then when you spend all that money it doesn't work. Third time lucky though, eh?

How can I reproduce my screen flicker so they'll believe me?

The intermittent nature of the annoying screen flicker on my Macbook makes it difficult to show a tech that it is a real problem and not some figment of my imagination. Does anybody know of a "sure fire" way of reproducing it? I have been able to recreate the rapid dimming and brightening of my Macbook screen by moving the brightness indicator all the way to the left and then bumping it up one click. This only works sometimes and it only works when I do it by clicking and dragging on the ball on the display screen in system prefs. It doesn't work by using f1 and f2. I made a video of my screen while it was flickering and put the video on the desktop. I'm sending it in as soon as my box arrives on Tuesday. They're also replacing my stained top case. I hope they will look at the video and at least test the inverter and cable to see if they're the problem. Any help with how to encourage them would be greatly appreciated.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I am the victim of this problem also. The screen flickering & brightness of the screen suddenly fade to low intensity. The screen flickering happened everytime I use my MacBook.
May MacBook was the initial Jun 2006 version.
I already get those problems (a) sudden shutdown (replace the logic board), (b) palm rest area discoloration (change the bottom case), (c) power adaptor pin contact problem (replace the new one), (d) poor performance of battery life (awaiting confirmation from local Apple support, 180cycle max. charge only 50% of initial capacity) & (e) screen flicker issue (today just send in my MacBook for them to do diagnostic).
I really lost confident with my MacBook.
Should I request a replacement of entire MacBook?
My warranty period will be expired mid of next month & the are asking me to purchase the apple protection plan. But, I claim that the unit is poor in initial build quality & why I should considered the plan. It is unfair to me.
If the MacBook is in good condition then I will consider the plan for support another 2 years (fair), not in this reverse way.
Anybody please guide me how to pursue this matter.
I previously own an iBook G4 & PowerBook G4 TI don't have these problem at all.

Screen Flicker (Flashing)

Hi there, I am having a trouble with a screen flicker or flashing frequently. Its HP Pavilion X2 10.1-inch Detachable 2 in 1 Laptop. It usually repeats when i get connect it to the internet or watch a video or the battery is lower then 40% or so?
Help Please?

Hi @Rotash
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with your screen flickering, or flashing when watching video, or connected to the internet. I am happy to assist with this.
You mentioned it also happening when the battery is below 40%. Does the problem happen as well when the computer is plugged in to power, or does it only happen when running on the battery?
Are you running several applications at the same time, or do you have any other peripherals plugged in to the ports such as external hard drives?
Also, please post the full product number of your notebook. See the following, if you need help in finding that.

T30 screen flicker

My T30 screen starts to flicker after 5-10 minutes of operation. The screen does not fade to black, it just dims a little, but does it very fast. This flickers come in syncronous with CPU of disk activity, so it seems to me that is may be some kind of power problem. It does not matter if it runs on battery of on charger, with or without battery installed.
Can this be solved without changing some major part of the machine? If not, then can you tell me which part of the system is malfunctioning?
Thanks

I have a new MacBook Pro 15 inch that I bought the first day they were available. I too have noticed screen flicker. It only occurs on the left side of the screen and is only noticeable at somewhat reduced brightness. I'm trying to decide whether to take it back to Apple for repair or replacement, or whether it should be considered within the working parameters of the screen, as it's not apparent at "normal" brightness, i.e., the brightness most people probably use most of the time. Has anyone consulted Apple about this and got a response?

HP PAVILION DV6T-7000 (A5F76AV) ..Display and keyboard

Hi
The screen on my notebook [HP PAVILION DV6T-7000 (A5F76AV)] does not have good vewing angles, it glares alot. Is it possible to upgrade the screen? I think it is a stantard HD type with 1366 x 768 px resolution, and I'm hoping to upgrade it to a WUXGA anti glare type screen with 1920 x 1200 or 1080 px resolution.
I checked on hp'partsurfer and I guess this is what i'm looking for: ( 682068-001SPS-DSPLY HU 15.6 FHD AG ALU DSC )
I'm currently in saudi arabia. Can you please tell me if the screen can be upgraded here?
Apart from that the keyboard does not have a backlight. Can I upgrade the keyboard to a backlit keyboard?
Thanks.

Heat cpu/hdd hp pavilion dv6t-7000

Product name: HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook
Problem: Over heating on the CPU and fan noizes
More details: O.S. Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1
CPU: Intel Core i7-3610 QM @ 2.30 GHZ
RAM: 8.00 GB
64 Bit
My message:
Greetings fellas, so i got this problem on my laptop i bought about a year ago, ive formatted it only once, and recently (2 months ago) i noticed over heating on the CPU, im almost sure its the CPU because i downloaded the SW SpeedFan and it shows the CPU has between 40° C - 50° C, all though the HDD shows overheating sometines so it maybe that too.
Im concerned about this because sometimes when its on 50°c or above the fan starts to speed up and makes loud noizes, i searched for some information about this and on the user guide it says that this particular model, on an operating environment, needs to fluctuate between 5°c - 35°c. (I dont know if its talking about the CPU temp. or the physical environment of the room).
So my question is, what are the recommended temp. for this laptop?
besides the dust accumulation, what can cause overheating?
im afraid these temp. may harm the hardware, is this normal? what can i do to reduce the heat?
(i also bought a usb fan cooling system, it helps but i still get these fan noizes from time to time. Also id like to mention that whenever i grab the laptop from its sides it seems like the pressure i make with my hands makes even more heat because instantly the fan starts speeding up, and therefore i need to grab it really carefully so it wont heat up.)
P.S.
The heat sensation takes part right beside the toouchpad (left side).
Hope you can help me undesrtand why this happens, how to prevent it, and how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.

With the warranty i mean you can modify it if you want but then the problem can become worse.
A laptop is designed for a good airflow to cool components. If you change anything the airflow can be worse. (and you loose your warranty.)
But there is one problem about your model, it's not designed for teardown.
You can take some think needles and stick them into the fan if you can acces it from the outside.
Then take your vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out of your laptop. But nake sure the fan doesn't move.
if you can get your keyboard out then it will be easy to stop the fan otherwise i think you should let it go
I found this one

But i doubt if it's worth it

Graphics Driver for HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC for Win 8.1

Hello Everyone,
I currently have an HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 Quad Edition with intel i7 and switchable radeon HD graphics card . I have made the jump from Windows 7 to 8.1 as I am a Current University student studying Information technology and have the need to be updated in terms of technology. I found Win 8.1 to run a bit faster on my PC than Win 7. I have ran into a couple of problems when upgrading to 8.1.
1.) I've been having an issue finding the correct and stable Video Graphics driver for my Radeon HD 6770M switchable graphics. I tried intalling the original Win 7 driver in the HP driver but does not work properly. I have also tried download a generic driver from the AMD Radeon driver website, but the screen is extremly dim when intalled and is almost impossible to use unless I hold a lamp to the LCD screen. The brightness function keys DO get reconized when pressed, but the brighness will not change no matter how high or low the brightness threshold is at.
2.) It is a bit out of topic, but I have also been having alot of trouble getting the validity fingerprint sensor to work with Win 8.1.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these issues or point me in the right direction in order to get them fixed. I am an IT student and have done alot of reasearch on these topics but have been unable to get them to work as intented.
P.S: I have read alot of fixes about brightness using regedit and edditing some values on specific registry entries. I have found them for many other pc manufacturers, but not for HP. Not an expert on registry stuff, but seems like many people get it fixed by doing so. Just an idea.

Due to the age of this model, HP is only providing drivers for Windows 7. After searching through the HP Forum, I was unable to find a satisfactory solution to your issue.
Please contact official HP Customer Support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, for official assistance with your issue.
