Surface Pro Screen flicker issue.
Ricard Jensen Before you read i just want to make this clear i live in Florida,
Sounds like you live Somewhere were theirs no air conditioning for all of Ur previous surfaces to just fail when gaming or idle.
So Basically I Teared The Surface Pro apart and replaced the thermal pasted and it did some benchmarks and stressed the system, And even through all the tests the fan doesnt even kick in It doesn't even get warm which is a good thing Tho when benchmarked it still flickers so your assumption of the screen being an issue isn't true if the motherboard possibly couldnt heat up the screen/the chips on the screen (i have tested ur theory by leaving the Surface open) It could be the cpus fault for the flickering, over time the solder balls gets cracked from underneath And looses connection To the Motherboard Causeing (flickering/scramble) Probably a reflow could fix the problem but if thats the case why doesn`tscreen captures not show the flickering..
Seems weird Altough ive heard some ppl say that When using an external monitor it doesnt show the flicker on there monitors which is weird..
not have tested it yet
Could be an easy fix its just weird why no one is taking actions to fix there 1500$ Laptop Investment that they spent there hard earn money Instead of leaving there surface in a fridge.
CMDCMstr3 Ive owned the surface pro 4. It had screen flicker issues and would even all fuzzy up and go black. I've also owned a Surface Pro 8 with the same issue. I broke the Surface Pro 8 with insurance and ended up upgrading to the Surface Pro 9. I also has the screen tearing issue. ESPECIALLY when having multiple media tabs open. I guess they have just never even adressed the issue in any of the new versions cause it's 3 different generations with the same problem.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Surface. But this is crazy that this issue is still a thing im having to deal with 5 generations later.
