Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1, screen flicker

In my case, I had no issue with the hardware. And I just resolved the flicker issue! Apparently, I only had to update my drivers. I was really panicking earlier because I thought I've been duped.

Hey! I bought a version without the touch screen and I am having different sort of problems. I described them here https://www.dell.com/community/Inspiron/Inspiron-13-7370-Poor-build-quality/m-p/6125823 I start to think that the 7000 series has some construction/quality problems.

I am glad to know that you solved your problem! :-)

Hi. Which drivers did you have to update? I have exact same issue. thanks

Thank you for your message. Does the screen flicker on your notebook? 

Does it happen irrespective of the applications used?  Do you have a touchscreen system?

Does the screen flicker if you move the LCD back & forth?

Do you observe the flickering issue in tablet mode as well?

What is a Dell Service Tag and how do I locate it?

I have same issue. I keep my drivers up to date. Flicker is arbitrary and then the screen goes black. However, I did note that after it does it and I restart the system, I get a pop up saying Dell just updated. This has been a lot lately and I'm not sure why. I've checked the Dell Support site for new drivers etc. but accordingly, I am up to date. 

In my case nothing helps. Randomly my laptop goes black and crashes, or screen starts flickering or goes to sleep and simply refuses to wake up. I not only updated it fully, but also did a full factory reset. Helped for about a week. Stupid me realized I am 1 week out of warranty. Typical

mlr272,

Did you get the flicker issues resolved on your computer? 

I am having the same issues described in this forum. I did all recommended Dell updates yesterday to make sure that wasn't the problem and my screen is still flickering. Mine also sometimes goes black and won't recover untlil I restart. Anyone find any resolutions?

Also, my battery is completely dead already and the laptop can only be used if plugged in which is extremely inconvenient as I use my computer for work and am frequently in different locations.

I have only had this laptop for about 2 years now and it wasn't cheap. I really like the computer overall, but am very disappointed that I am already having these types of issues. Expected better performance and longevity.

Update the firmware in device manager
