Hello,
I have an Acer 3003LCi Laptop. I have a problem with the screen
flickering when it's opened to certain angles. Sometimes even just
putting slight pressure from the back onto the screen will alleviate
the problem.
I'm a computer programmer, not a hardware guy :-) Does this sound like
some sort of loose connection? That's the only thing that came to my
mind. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Lint
My Acer Travelmate screen started flickering a few mjonths ago. When it flickers very badly, sometimes it just goes black and then slowly turns to white or other types of things and I then have to a) reset it or b) if I put it on standby for a while, close the laptop, then open it and turn it on again, I may be able to see the screen. Nowadays the flickering only lessens if I open the laptop 180°. What can be about it?
The flickering screen indicates that it is a backlight problem with either a faulty inverter or inverter connection problem. The inverter is usually located at the bottom edge of the LCD screen, and may have one or two connectors (one for the video info. and one for the inverter power or a combined connector) attached to the motherboard under the case near the top edge of the keyboard near the hinges. Reseating these connectors may solve your problem.

More than likely the backlight is failing. If you can still see a VERY faint image on the screen this is almost certainly the problem.This is a very difficult fix. I recommend a replacement LCD.
It MIGHT be a bad lcd cable. With the laptop on, slowly open it from closed to open and back again and see if there is a position where the laptop screen does not flicker or turn off, [or if it does turn off if it turns back on.
If the screen goes COMPLETELY black then your GPU is failing.
Hello there,
The reason the screen flickers is simply because the module of the laptop is faulty. The module is what connects the screen to the main board, it is like a flex for the screen. Once you can have it replaced, the screen will stop flickering.
All the best

1. Check the cables for lose connection in the connectors. 2. Check if there are interferences of magnetic fields from other gadgets.Yes, check if near your laptop, you haven't placed speakers, florescent lights, cell phones, radios and any other electrical device. 3. Check if there were any changes in the display settings like when some computers are upgraded from their original versions. For instance, many laptops that have been upgraded from Windows 95 versions to higher versions, have shown problems of flickering due to poorly calibrated refresh rate. 4. Many a time, it may occur that the pixels on your LCD laptop screen/LCD Monitors are damaged in certain area and so you're unable to see proper images. If that is the case, then you don't have any other choice but to change the entire screen and replace it with a new one. 5.To check if there is no problem in your video card, connect another monitor to your laptop through the VGA port. If it shows any faint images or jumbled images, then the main reason for your laptop flickering screen is your video card. 6. if you don't find that there is any other problem you can detect, there must be problems within your computer monitor screen, otherwise It is advisable to go to your laptop service center and get the laptop checked. If you find that your laptop screen is still in warranty period and you find problems of flickering, it is best to get it changed.

Your monitor may be flickering because the connection of the LCD is loose on the motherboard. You would need to open up the laptop and check the connection or bring it to someone who can do it for you.
check the monitor refresh rate setting.right click on the back ground on the main windows screen. Choose proprieties from the menu that opens, then click on the settings tab on the top of property window. Next click 0on the monitor tab and increase the refresh rate at the bottom of monitor window. That should do it.
