Dell M3800 - potential screen issue or software artefacts? Pictures a
Hi all, over the last few days I've seen a bit of flickering on my laptop screen. I have a 24" external screen attached via HDMI also but it is not exhibiting issues. I had my screen replaced last month due to a few too many dead pixels, so just trying to highlight if this is a screen problem or a software problem.. as it's unclear to me.
Overview of issue;
- Initially the grey overlay would flicker on/off very quickly. This has happened over last 3 or 4 days, but it didn't persist
- This morning I noticed heavy flickering and then the grey overlay/artefacts seemed to just remain on the about 7/8th of the laptop screen. The whole screen was never affected.
- I tried doing a print-screen, and it printed my screens normally, the grey overlay/artefacts did not appear in my print-screen.
- I tried to leave extended desktop mode, and switched my display scaling on/off - the problem persisted.
- I restarted my laptop and on the sign-in screen the problem was still there
- I restarted it again and then disabled my external monitor once I got into windows, and my laptop screen came back
- I re-enabled my external screen, noticed the same flickering, and disabled it again.
- Laptop screen is still back and hasn't flickered since i disabled the external monitor.
Took a few photos of it when it happened... any thoughts would be great. Bit bamboozled by this one..
