Latitude E6410 NVS 3100M Screen Flicker

I've got the exact same problem - laptop screen flickers when it awakes from sleeps.

I have absolutely same problem with flicker!!

My solution: I use this drivers: 259.22 ( 8.17.12.5922). This drivers fixed flicker problems, but sometimes it crashed :-/ 

Please DELL .... can you fix this problem ?? !!!

This is what worked for me:

I have a Dell Latitude E6410 i5-560m w/ nVidia NVS 3100M

Windows 8 Pro 64 bit

BIOS A13

Video Driver: v310.90

Tried Video Driver: Version: A09-706459 version: 8.17.12.9679 - no change - still flickered.

Tried Video Driver: Version: A08-R287174 Version: 8.17.12.5922 - it worked, so far at least.

I did need to boot to safe mode in Win8 in order to downgrade from v310.90 to A09, but I did not downgrade system BIOS.

Well, I take it all back from my previous post. I left the laptop un-attended overnight and in the morning the screen DID NOT have the flicker. I left the laptop un-attended for a half hour and I HAVE the flicker. I think it is a hardware issue in my case.

Hi,

I have installed latest nVidia v310.90, my BIOS v. is A04. I got flicker. I have changed the screen refresh rate type to DMT in nVidia Control Panel (change resolution> adjust button). The problem is gone at the moment and doesn't come back after wake up from sleep. I am not sure if this option is available in original Dell driver, I have used driver from nVidia site and INF file from laptopvideo2go. I needed new driver for CUDA to work correctly with DVD creator encoding software (worked ok, now encoding is few times faster, but I got flicker - now resolved).

I had this problem for 1.5 years with my E6410, went through two systems with the exact same issue, and now the third has no problem. First system was replaced on the day it arrived, second had 3 motherboards, 2 displays, and a whole bunch of other parts replaced with no fix, and the third has no problem.

The easiest way to get the problem is to set display sleep to 10 min, wait 15-20 min, and wake up the display. It will flicker like mad. If you have no warranty, the only fix i have found is to get a display modifier and force 75-90Hz refresh rate, but this will kill your battery. Otherwise, keep working with Dell until you get a full system replacement.

I've had the same problem,  A08-R287174 driver was also a solution for me, no flickering since downgrade, bios A11.

An update for my situation. The flicker problem occurs in Win7-64bit and Win8-64bit with all drivers I've tried to date. I do not get the flicker problem with Win7-32-bit, so it appears to be related to the 64 bit OS drivers in my case.

hmmmm I have always been on Win 7 64 bit (scratches head)

Mine has been 64 bit also.  I have found it to be very inconsistent when trying to locate the source of the problem.  It initially occured when I upgraded form BIOS A09 to A11, but that doesn't follow other people's experiences.  After I experiment with different versions of the drivers and BIOS, it sometimes goes away, but returns when I've done nothing new.  I can repeat the same steps that worked to fix it one time, but it may not work the second time.

It appears not to be a problem with older video drivers (and for some older BIOS versions), but I have other reasons not to downgrade.

I have updated to the latest BIOS version and also to the latest nVidia driver. Flicker occurred only once, but after I set "Turn off display after" to "Never" in windows power options, it has never occurred again. I have Windows 7x64 installed.

My solution for this problem was change my display. The technician told me that this problem is with LG displays. So I have now Samsung display and flickering is gone ..

Are you sure they've changed LG with Samsung not the other way? I got Samsung SEC5442 and it flickers when using newest drivers..

I have big problem with flickering when PC wake up from sleeping mode...after switch to Samsung display is this problem gone...
