Screen flickers, corrosion in phone

My N95-4 is just over 30 days old and under a 100 minutes on it, The screen started to flicker on and off in the first 15 days so I sent to the Nokia service center in Huntsville AL. I received it back last night saying it could not be repaired because of corrosion(liquid damage) I have never had this phone in any type of water. The service center says tough luck..It is hard to swallow a &750.00 phone in 30 days. Any idea on who to contact or what to do? Please help...I have been reading in other forms that this is Nokia way out of the warranty... Help Help;;;

Yes i can see its hard to accept, expecially on an expensive handset and only haveing it that short of time.
Did you know that most retailers can replace or offer a money back on all handsets under 30 days old if they are faulty.. (or at least this is true in the UK)
Just thought that might be an interesting thought for you there

IPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black.

I bought an iPhone 5 in New York last December. Now I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I can't find an authorized service center because they said that only if I bought it from a local carrier they attend the warranty.
My iPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black… The only way to make it work is to reboot with Home and Lock buttons pressed at the same time. But in the process most of the times it flickers again, and again, and again. I couldn't find a reason to identify what could be causing the issue. Also sometimes when it freezes, some group applications get ungrouped, causing a big mess.
I already tried to restore the phone, remove the SIM, delete all applications with no luck.
Any sugestion? Thanks!

Was this phone ever jalbroken?
If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix. Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA. Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option

TS3232 I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have screen flickering issues

I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have massive screen flickering issues on a Mac Mini 2012.
I am using a Dell 30" monitor (it's the Samsung screen just rebranded) connected to a WD 4TB Thunderbolt drive connected to the Mac Mini.
The screen is usable for the most part when I've just started the computer (although today I started having issues after a fresh restart) but if even just the screen goes to sleep, or the computer goes to sleep and I wake it later, I start to have massive flickering to black and occasionally to snow.
The effect seems to be more likely to arise when I'm on heavy graphics-intensive websites or programs (eg, Tumblr feed with lots of GIF images or working in Adobe Premiere), but once it starts shutting down those programs has no effect, the screen keeps flickering wildly.
The problem improved after the 1.03 firmware upgrade (for a while it was flickering uncontrollably ALL the time and was virtually unusable) but it has not gone away.
Any suggestions would be very welcome, either for how to fix this issue or how to get Apple to, you know, let me TELL THEM that their adapter firmware fix has NOT solved the issue, since my phone support has expired. :/

I have a new Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to allow my original Apple 30" Cinema Display to connect to the new Mac Pro. Shipped straight from Apple, it is firmware version 1.03. I've never had flickering issues, but the display will often go black (possibly after a screen power save) and not come back. when this happens I am still able to connect to and use the Mac via remote connection. But the only way to get the screen back is either to unplug the adapter and plug it back in to the Mac, or to shut down and power up the Mac. This may be a separate issue, so I'll also post it standalone...

Screen flickering in windows 8 and 8.1

Recently I've started to have this problem in both windows 8 and 8.1, where the screen flickers and lines and other oddities dance across the screen. It seems to happen much more in windows 8.1 than in windows 8, but it does still happen in windows 8. It seems to have started when I upgraded the OS X side of my laptop to Mavericks. The odd thing is that it doesn't exhibit the problem on the main display or a newly attached external display when at all when I plug the computer into an external display with hdmi. This makes me think that it might be some sort of a driver issue, but I am not really sure. Here is a video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ICiCFfWv8I If anyone has any ideas about how I might be able to fix this issue, or if I need to have the laptop repaired/replaced, that would be extremely helpful!
Thanks!

@pwabrahams ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. If each driver is the same file name and same date but have different file sizes. What you will want to do is to download each one and save it to an external memory device.
Once you have the drivers downloaded boot your system into safe mode.
Windows 8 Safe Mode
Now in safe mode uninstall the driver for your video.
When the driver is removed boot back into windows normally and install the driver.
Try all three drivers. If all have the same issue you will need to do a repair. For that you will need to contact HP phone support.

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Screen flickering and camera hangs

I bought xperia Z1 a month ago. Since then i have this issue of screen flickering. i ordered for replacement and the phone i got after replacement has same issues as well as the camera hangs.
Any suggestions why this happens ?!!!!!!!

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I suggest that you to run your phone in safe mode for a while to check if you still experience this. If not this may be caused by any downloaded application.
How to boot into safe mode?
If it's the same while in safe mode, I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?
If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

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 flickers in CTI environment (Events(

Hi All,
We are using CRM 5.0 with CTI connector. When any phone events happens, IC Webclient screen flickers. i.e. When user calls and agent confirm BP and working on the ticket and during that time caller hangs up, complete ICWC screen flickers. Or if agent is doing Conference during that time also screen flickers or if agent is working on a ticket and gets a call that time also screen flickers.
We are using crm 5.0 SP08. Java version is 1.4.2_12 and there is no MIcrosoft VJM on system. We tried on sevaral workstations and 2 SAP instances and it flickers. I created OSS message and also checked on MarketPlace, here on SDN and microsoft websites. This is happening either we launch ICWC from Portal or directy from GUI.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,

Hi,
Did you get the solution, as the screen flickers in ICWC when categorories are changed in transactions for us

N70 Screen flickers while typing message

Hello:
I have bought Nokia N70 Music Edition 3 days back but i am noticing that the screen flickers while typing the message.
The screen flickering that occurs while typing a msg does not occur when i m using any of the nokia builtin themes...but when i m using the themes which i have downloaded from www.zedge.net, the flickering while typing msg takes place...i had installed the themes in mem card, but i have also tried installing them to phone and then checking the theme, but still the flickering occurs. The theme installation puts some application called OWN SKIN ANIMATOR in the startup of my mobile. It has something to do with the animation of the theme, although i have tried exiting the application and then testing the msg flickering, and it STILL occurs ...can u please suggest a solution or tell me some good themes or a good site to download themes for N70 ME.
P.S. I have been downloading themes from www.zedge.net for quite a long time and it has never created any problems on my previous phones i.e. Nokia 5200 and 6300

Iphone 5c screen flickering, pixelated and then becomes unresponsive

i got a replacement iphone 5c from apple about 4 months ago. my first 5c started flickering and eventually just gave up on me. apple had it for 2 weeks and sent back what i was told was a brand new 5c. Lucky for me as i was just passed my 1 yr warranty when i got it back. the first time i turned it on the screen flickered a few times but stopped. Now, the app icons jump around the screen and the screen gets so pixelated you can barely see the screen. After this, it will become completely unresponsive and wont even power off. Ive restored it three times now and nothing works. i feel really let down - i look after my phones and have always bought apple products. the 5c is the first apple product ive had so many issues with. To have a completely unusable phone after 4 months of getting it straight from Apple is a joke and to make things worse im out of my warranty. is there any way of fixing this or at least contacting apple to let them know whats
happened? the website just keeps redirecting me to various pages which are not helping at all.

Hello woothie,
It sounds like your screen is behaving unexpectedly and is not displaying your content correctly. If you had been restoring from a backup, I would next test it out after having backed up and restored as new with this article:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If you had restored as new, or the issue persits, here is the number to call AppleCare directly:
