Screen flickering in low brightness

Anyone experiencing this? If so, did you get it repaired?
I'm contemplating to go to Genius at my local apple store or calling the apple tech over the phone. What do you guys recommend I do?
P.S. I posted this under display forum, but there doesn't have as much as activities than here.

I see. But I don't experience the noise people are having with problematic display inverter.

  • Does all imac screen flickers at low brightness?

    Hi, I just got the 21.5" imac.
    I notice there's this minor flickering problem at low brightness, is this normal?
    It seems like it's a known issue after I researched about it.
    Is it a hardware problem or a software problem?
    Should I exchange it?
    Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    No that isn't normal, call AppleCare in the morning the number is in your owners manual.
    Regards,

  • Screen flickering in low light

    Just wondering if any one is noticing the iPad screen flickering in low light?
    I notice it mainly on a white page like apple.com nothing too major but enough to make me notice and wonder if it is just mine or a wide spread problem.

    HI,
    Try Resetting your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help and it persists, take it back for a replacement. It should not do that regardless of ambient lighting.

  • Screen flicker at low brightness

    Hi all
    I have a macbook pro unibody 15" and I seem to be getting a screen flicker at low brightness settings.
    I used to have a macbook and it never did this.
    Is this normal and if not, is there anything that I can do about it?

    Hi G,
    I was going to suggest having it checked for the NVIDIA issue, but you state you have a unibody. If you have a new unibody, you would be best served if you posted in that forum (this area is for the Original MBP). Good luck.

  • IPHONE SCREEN ON PERMANENT LOW BRIGHTNESS

    My iphone 3GS is on permanent low brightness. like the lowest it can go. i have turned it up to full but it stays on the lowest?
    it was working normally but the screen was flickering and then it shut down to the lowest brightness even though the little brightness meter is on full.
    and my cameras not working either
    any suggestions on what i should do?
    thanks

    At a guess the backlight has gone. If your phone is still under warranty then take it in.

  • Cross posting: Screen Flicker/Throbbing at low brightness

    I'm cross-posting from "The MacBook Pro Display" forum topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=376277&tstart=0
    I got my MBP today and soon noticed that at low levels of brightness (levels one to three), the brightness of the screen flickers/throbs. To be clear: there is no interruption to the actual screen image, only the overall brightness of the screen.
    It also happens when the screen dims after inactivity. It seems like the backlight is flickering sporadically about 2 to 5 times per second. Its especially noticable in my peripheral vision when I'm looking at my external LCD display alongside it. It is beyond a nuisance - if I stare at it for too long, I begin to feel physically uncomfortable!
    I've found that it doesn't happen straight away, it takes a few minutes from having booted up for the effect to begin. Has anybody else noticed this problem?

    I, too, was having flicker issues on my MacBook Pro. I'm pretty sensitive to flicker -- annoyingly so -- and was noticing it at full brightness as well, especially if the background was bright. Having not seen the posts here, it took awhile to track down, but turning off the aforementioned "automatically adjust screen brightness" nailed it. The ambient light was constant but I think my hands were partially shadowing the sensor. Problem solved and I no longer feel sick using the machine (generally considered a good thing).

  • Led panel flickering - noticable in low brightness and white background​s

    Hello I have an HP Pavilion x2 10 and it has a very annoying problem. The screen is randomly flickering especiall when set to a low bringhtness setting. Pages with white backgrounds are more noticable but still the screen flickers a lot. Tried to disable Intel HD grapfics power saving but still the issue is there. 
    any ideas?
    It flickers both docked and undocked and on power or AC ... sometimes it stops for 30-40 seconds but after a while it starts to flicker again.
    Anbybody else with this issue?

    Sounds like a defective panel then, get it replaced. 

  • 5800 low brightness screen

    My 5800, bought last January, presented the well known stripes-on-the-screen problem. I've got it repaired in a Nokia care point but the new display has a lower brightness, yellowish tones and uneven luminosity (darker in the very top section, lighter in the bottom area). I've noticed these changes at the first power-on after the repair but, to be sure, I've put it side-by-side with another 5800 I had and the first impression has been confirmed. I suspect the display has been replaced with a refurbished or a defective one.
    I've asked the Nokia care point to get me a good-enough display, leaving again my 5800. They've called me back after 6 hours telling that the screen had been changed again (I don't believe them) but the situation was exactly the same because:
    "the most recent 5800 displays act like this; they are all the same and less bright than the ones used by Nokia before".
    This would be the first time display technology evolves toward lower quality. Is there anybody who can confirm or deny the Nokia carepoint thesis? Any suggestion on how I can get an equal or better 5800 after the in-warranty repair? Thanks a lot. Antonio

    Confirmed by another Nokia point. The new 5800 displays are less bright than the previous ones, may be for longer battery use. This is a shame for a full display phone that I use also as a navigator. My next one will not be a Nokia, for sure.

  • MSI R9 270X HAWK low GPU usage and screen flickering problem

    I bought an MSI R9 270X HAWK vga and I have this screen flickering issue.
    My S/N: 602-V303-02SB1310009419
    I also had another problem: the GPU usage averages at 50-55% on every game (DX9,10,11 games like TESV Skyrim, League of Legends, Crysis 2-3, Battlefield 2-3, Far Cry 3) and never reaches more than 80%(well, once I made it run at 99%, I used ultra settings on Battlefield 4 with Sync on, Ultra preset settings with 200% res. scale so pretty much the maxed out Settings). I'm using this card with 8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM with a stock clocked 1090T and AMD's reply for this problem was, that this problem can be driver problem as well as VBIOS.

    I created a bootable usb, placed the files in it (formated, and only these files were at the usb, dos startup directed to win98boot's folder (C:\win98boot) renamed the tv303ms.134 to tv303ms.rom,l after i placed it on the usb and in the boot menu there are four additional options related to the USB (there's no USB only option): FDD, HDD, CDROM, zip. Selecting the FDD and CDROM starts the windows normally, The HDD option ended on the white-black screen, and there's where I can write:   C:\>
    after this i tried to type in: atiflash.exe TV303MS.rom [enter] nothing happened, then atiflash.exe [enter] and popped up some help instructions for the use of atiflash, I pressed enter over and over and then requested another command, I tiped in the tv303ms.rom [enter] and again nothing happened (invalid command I think). What should I do now ? I did some research but still can't figure out what the problem is. :/ (If I done everything correct, maybe the problem related to my motherboard or USB stick?)

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Screen Flickering and Screen Blanking

    Hi,
    I love the Yoga 2 Pro. But i have fews issues with it. Especially when used on battery.
    My screen flicker from time to time. The onyl fix i found was to close the lid to put the laptop to sleep and the reopen it. Not very convinient.
    An other issue I encounter is the screen blanking after a while when the computer is not in use. It's like the computer blank the screen to save battery power, but when you want to reuse it again, it won't start again. THe only fix is to hard reset the computer (eg : press 10s the power button)
    I am running a fresh clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro with all the Lenovo Drivers up to date (exept the BIOS one)
    If you could help me fix my issues. I think it's software related.
    Do you think i should put the BIOS update ? Does anybody ever try with a clean windows 8.1 install ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Romain

    I have the same issue, only it occurs at low brightness.
    It flickers rapidly for a few seconds and goes away. It occasionally comes back, making it unable to work in darker environments with the rapid flickers.
    I've checked all the auto-brightness and intel power saving options. I tried using both refresh rates, and they don't make a difference. The problem occurs in all power plans and even in the non-Lenovo energy manger modes. All drivers and BIOS are up to date.
    I'm at a complete loss as to why this is happening...I would greatly appreciate a solution. I sincerely hope I don't have a defective laptop..):

  • 24" iMac Silver - screen flickers

    Just pulled it out of the box today. I can't operate at anything less than full brightness or the screen flickers. I can't find any other posts on this one. I see a lot of other related issues. Anyone having this issue? Did it go away?
    I can't lose this machine to apple for repairs.

    same for me, When I try and use the main system brightness control at the lower levels the display tends to have uneven strips that are lighter and darker.
    its like if the monitor turns on and off very rapidly, like high speed blinks, i use an app called SHADE, it dims the monitor (dont now how) the screen dont flicker anymore and its free
    http://www.charcoaldesign.co.uk/shades
    Unlike other solutions, Shades doesn't change your display settings, and won't screw up your monitor's colour profile.
    BY THE WAY, MAYBE ITS A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE FREEZING IMACS DUE TO THE ATI GPU
    fine app, right price

  • Lumia 1320 screen flickers.

    I have a Lumia 1320 and I've noticed a slight flicker on the screen. The flicker occurs only when the screen's brightness is low, no matter what I'm doing on the phone. It flickers even on glance screen. After some research online, I found that other people have this problem aswell. Is this software or hardware related? Is my device faulty?
    I found a video demonstrating the same issue but on another device. The flicker is the exact same on my L 1320.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwkFhpiYbs
    You can see the flicker clearly at 0:15 sec. It is more noticeable off camera.
    After some research online, I found that its not an issue only on 1320 but on other devices aswell.  Cmon Nokia, this phone has been on market for over a year. Issues like this should be fixed already. What should I do? Should I go on Nokia Care Center and ask for a new device? Screen replacement?

    http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-625/247981-screen-flickering-auto-brightness.html

    The thing is though that from what I've read online other people have this issue aswell. Which means that I don't have a faulty device. Which leads to the conclusion that it's either software related or a general hardware issue of all (or at least a batch) of L1320. Either way, this device has been on the market for over a year. Shouldn't this issue have already been addressed?
    I've read on another forum that a fellow owner of a L1320 with the same issue changed his screen twice on Nokia Care Center, and the device still had the issue. 
    PS: Nokia Support replied to me this morning on the e-mail that I've sent them regarding this issue. You won't believe what they told me in response: "Set the display brightness to high to stop having this issue". Unbelievable.

  • Screen flickering in Lumia 710.

    Hi, I recently buy a retail Lumia 710 and noticed that under bright levels others than high (low, medium and auto) the screen bright level flicks when scrolling apps with high contrast elements in screen, like Internet Explorer or between menus with white background. This is noticed by other users :

  • My Macbook screen flickers since installing Lion

    Ever since I installed Lion on my Early Model Macbook, the screen flickers intermittently.
    It doesnt go completely black, its as if the screen is tryng to go into low power mode and back out again really quickly.

    Well I think I found a solution, you can try the Energy Saver settings and deselect "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep', so far I haven't had any problems with my screen.
    Hope this will solve your problem too.

  • I have a late 2009 imac i am having issues with my screen flickering and getting dark

    i have a late 2009 imac  21 inch i am having problems with my screen flickering ND GETTING DARK DOES THIS MEAN THAT MY COMPUTER IA FAILING

    I have partly the same problem (Sceen blackening) sparodically.
    2010 iMAC  with I7 CPU and ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB Graphics.
    If I lower the brightness to around (3 or sometimes 4 of the on screen squares F2) the issue does not happen at all. I prefer a bright screen.
    The issue commenced immediately after instaalling OS X 10.8.2 update one year ago.
    The current software is  OS X 10.9 (13A603)
    The graphics on this computer are always first rate when working properly even at maximum brightness
    There are particular days and times when the problem routinely occurs.
    Some of my neighbors with iMacs have similar problems.
    I live adjacent to the City of London in an area where new building seems to be developing faster than the various utilities and there are known Power Network issues. Professional surge supressors make no difference.
    I live in a large property with four independent ring mais. The issue is present on all four rings. I have yet to take the computer elsewhere to possibly eliminate power issues from the problem.
    I am reluctant to replace an otherwise fine top of range iMac which otherwise serves me well since the same problems might be present.
