I have a Dell Inspiron 15R-5521 (non-touchscreen model) and since it is more than a year old now, it is out of warranty. Whenever I turn on my laptop, the screen starts to flicker even on the boot screen. Sometimes the screen goes all black after a few flickering. After the moving the lid back and forth a few times the flickering stops and if I'm lucky it won't flicker for the rest of the usage period. I have updated the video card drivers as well but the problem still persists.
I've had this problem for over a month now and I'm sure it is a hardware problem. Before taking it to a repair shop or doing a DIY fix, I want to know what the actual problem is.
Can someone who has had a similar problem help me? Thank :)
