Solved! Laptop display problem occuring occassionally

[saurabhaggarwal]

I have Dell N4110. running windows 10 with I5 processor. It runs smoothly most of the times.

However some times it flickers a lot. One observation, when I touch touchpad then it flickers. I have attached screenshot. I am not able to find root cause. Can any one help

Looks like a connection problem. Perhaps the cable the connects the display to the motherboard is pinched, damaged, loose, etc. Alas, the only way to know for sure is to look inside.

So, if the laptop is under warranty, contact the manufacturer as opening it yourself will likely void said warranty. If it isn't under warranty, then you can either try doing the work yourself (if you feel comfortable doing so) or take it to a local tech. Depending on the layout of you device (inside) it may be a bit complicated to get to the right part (cable) to check.

If it is just loose, etc., then it should be fixable easily. However, if the part is damaged in any way (even just a deep pinch in the cable) then it would need replacing.

Thanks for quick reply.
I thought so but most of the times it works normal. Some times it gives problem. Even when laptop on a stable surface. For example yesterday it was on a stable surface. It was flickering when i was touching touchpad. It was behaving properly when i remove finger from touchpad. And it happens 10-20 times

That definitely sounds like a connection issue.
