    SCREEN FLICKER


    I have a Dell XPS L502X and recently the screen has started to flicker intermittently. I could go hours on the PC and nothing happens then suddenly it starts flickering. then the screen will go blank. I can see the backlight but there is nothing displayed. If there is a video playing then the audio is still there. On the left side of the screen there is a band of noise scramble with tiny white dots. All this stops as suddenly as it started and I can resume with whatever I was doing.


    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling graphics drivers. I have changed the LCD display. Nothing seems to resolve it.


    It normally happens on startup otherwise an hour after constant use. The last episode was a good few hours ago and i've had no issues.


    Ideally I would like to resolve this issue as the laptop has served me well over the years and I dont want to replace it just yet.


    Is there anything I can do to banish this problem for good?

    Thank you.

    :)
