Studio 1555 laptop
Display is erratic (very fast flickering) and unreadable. Can I install an external monitor and expect it to work?

Hi Twotinos
If your 1555 is flickering dark and bright rapidly, you can probably connect an external monitor successfully. This would indicate a problem with the display's backlight inverter or LVDS cable (the connector between display and mainboard.). The parts are both pretty inexpensive and the service manual is available here.
HOWEVER, if you are observing dithering and then clarity or a geometric pattern and then clarity it is possible your display adapter has failed. If you can provide more info and / or pictures it would help with the troubleshooting.

Good day Twotinos,
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes you can try an external monitor and if the graphics card is fine, it should work on an external .
Does the flickering stops if you swing the screen back and forth or hold it at a particular angle.
