Area-51m, display dim

Question

Hello everyone.My Area 51m has got a Display problem. It is very dim. When i set the laptop to energy-save and wake it back up is is a little bit brighter, (even at 0) can set the slider to about 8% above that and it dims and flickers a bit.When it is set to about 8% and the GPU heats up it dims back to 'below' 0%.I ordered a new screen, its still on transit, but the more i try to find about this issue i get the feeling its the GPU? Can that be possible that something like the PWM Module for brightness is burnt out?Does someone have a solution for that problem or is it still only the screen itself? But if so, why is it temperature related? i7 9700kRTX 208064GB Ram144Hz Tobii Screen (FHD)I tried a complete new installation of Win10 and 11No Powersaving optionsOld Driver, New Driver, official Driverreseating the cable (on MB site)New Thermal-pasteDisabling Tobii EyetrackerDisabling one GPU per Time in device managerDisabling ScreenDisconneting Tobii Eyetracker from the boardTrying Bios 1.27Disconneting the camerai really really hope it is not the GPU, that would be too expensive :( kind regards

It was the GPU, i baked it starting with 170C and as it was in the oven i set it up until 225C. Let it sit there for a few min and then let it cool down slowly.
After that i built it back in with new paste and it works :).

kind regards
