Dv6-3131TX screen flicker

I recently bought a HP Pavilion Dv6-3131TX laptop and it was fine at all at first, but after a week or so my eyes started to hurt if I have been on it for more than 10 minutes. I realized there is a light flicker on the screen. In my view, that he can have something to do with the refresh rate, although I'm not completely sure.

Here are my specs:

  • Core i5 2.53 GHz 460 M
  • ATI Radeon HD5650 1 GB
  • 15.6 with resolution 1366 x 768
  • Graphics driver is up to date (Version 8.771.1.0)
  • Windows 7 64-bit (SP1)

Further information can be given.

This sounds like a problem with the resolution or refresh rate, or is the defective screen?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

LCDs should have really no flickering at all pixels do not physically turn and outside, that's why the refresh rate is not a factor as it allows to be with older CRT monitors - most laptop LCD screens display a refresh rate of 60 Hz.

As you are getting a flickering effect and given that your laptop is under warranty, I would contact HP for it to be looked at.  You can contact HP about this here.

Kind regards

  • Pavilion dv6 3131tx: play games with ATI card Windows 10 graphics card

    Hello

    I have a hp Pavilion dv6-3131tx with switchable graphics (HD Intel and AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 series card graphics card), and after the upgrade to Windows 10 all my games have been slow. I thought it was because of the HARD drive space I did a disk cleanup (including system files that I decided that I wasn't going back to Windows 7). After doing this, I decided to fiddle around with my chart (on two cards) options to maximize performance.

    However, now most of my games opened with the sound in the background, but it's a completely black screen. Looks like everything works well in the background (even the mouse pointer works and is in the shape of the pointer of the mouse of games) but it's just a full black screen. This seems to only happen with demanding games like a racing game or a sim as Sim truck or train sim. Other games such as spintires and miami hotline works very well. I could literally find nothing similar to this problem online and I really hope there is a fix for this!

    I have to mention also I tried to turn off my map graphics Intel HD in Device Manager when I was trying to figure out how I can make my ATI card my default card, because I'm sure that my games were run on the Intel card as they all seemed very slow compared to when I played on Windows 7. After that I disabled it my screen was almost entirely black, but I could just, just, what I did and managed to the reactivation of the card. This form almost entirely black happened also when I did the opposite.

    Update: it seems when I put these games to use the games I have (the Intel card) power saving trouble with work fine (less shift because she is able to save of course) so it's a problem with the ATI card.

    Thank you and I hope there is a fix for this

    Also, I had a PC trashed by the upgrade of Win10 - because the upgrade tool does not detect the switchable graphics in advance and prevent the upgrade.  The good news is that MS has finally stopped by pushing people to do the upgrade of Win10.

    Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.

    Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.

    You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

    ---------------------------------------
    However, HP customer care is generally not available on weekends, so you will have to wait until Monday to contact them.

    Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  • G580 screen flicker to black and heavy pixelation

    So I have a laptop G580 which is in good condition and recently updated.

    About a week and a half, I noticed that my screen flicker and would become very pixelated with color and sparkle black (I've included a photo). Usually, he would go back to normal, but occasionally, he would continue to flicker and pixelation. Move the screen does ' t affect the problem, restart sometimes helps, and I did scans of material that came back clean. (Programmes of work like nothing is wrong, it's just the screen) Nothing in my laptop seems to be brocken so I don't know what is happening.

    Please help because it seems to be happenong more often!

    That's what the screen would look like:

    If you can find a good shop 'good reputation' that offers you a free diagnosis, that may be your best option. Usually, it's a simple solution, if it is the LCD cable. If it is the graphics card, it's more expensive, but less than the cost of a new laptop.

    You can contact Lenovo directly to inquire about the warranty and if it will cover your current number before you pull the trigger on the repair.

    Good luck.

  • Yoga 2 Pro big screen flicker followed in black

    Hello

    Does anyone else get this problem? I don't think it's the same screen flicker that is experienced by a few others because of problems of auto brightness...

    It flashes black and then all cela turns is not responding after awhile... and although the video shows what is happening in a low light environment, I had this encounter for a beautifully lit place as well...

    Any thoughts?

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0BwDCKNxZ1zwXTDFqejJ6aXNzM0k/edit?USP=sharing

    I've posted a copy of what is really going on google reader.

    Is this a case of problems of motherboard? I just got my laptop about 3 weeks ago.

    No chance for an exchange of 1-1?

    Can we go to the Intel Graphics Control Panel, press power button and then go to "on battery" tab. 'Panel auto refresh' option is enabled? If it is then disable it. This option makes the Board consumes less power, gives better battery life, but there the exact symptoms every now and then.

    If you have installed Yoga graphic driver actions then download the most recent Intel, install it and turn this option off.

    To install the new driver, you have to uninstall the old, otherwise it will not allow you to install a new. To uninstall it go to Device Manager, display the properties of the driver, uninstall button driver.

    If this does not work then I don't know, is probably a hardware problem better trying to get a replacement.

  • switchable graphics driver for DV6-3131tx ATI mobility radeon 5650 for Windows 8

    Hi, I have a laptop HP dv6 3131tx (64-bit). I just recentley upgraded to Windows 8 since my laptop is supposed to be compatible to the HP Web site.

    I can't find drivers for my card (ATI radeon 5650 including) 1 GB switchable graphics.

    Because of this problem, I can not connect my laptop to do anything with my HDMI cable, I can't use software such as AutoCAD (software engineering), I can not play almost any game that required the decent graphics and my laptop runs out real costs quickly becausei can't change my graphics mode.

    I also tried with the driver of windows 7 in compatibility mode, but even that is no problem.

    Really need help. As soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It would look like HP do not go to your laptop for Windows 8 support - you can check if you enter your XV784PA NR the Site to upgrade Windows 8

    My best advice would be to use 3rd party personalized graphics drivers switchable such as those found on the following link - these were a success with people using switchable graphics who want the latest drivers.

    http://leshcatlabs.NET/

    I suggest strongly to read the Manual about installing these drivers and to understand why driver signature enforcement must be disabled to load these custom drivers.

  • Satellite C855 - 29 the screen flicker becomes constant

    I wonder if someone could give me some tips about the foregoing.

    During the last two weeks my laptop screen was flicker - colored lines transiting via the page until they get darker and darker. It seems to stop or slow down if I move the laptop (usually at the back) Although lately, it will go completely black.

    I have the laptop put in place for the automatic stop when I shut the lid and the only solution when the screen becomes black must do exactly that. It will then normally once I open the lid.

    I tried Googling a lot of solutions (that much I find completely confusing) and wonder if it could be a wire lose somewhere?

    Any help or advice with gratitude would appreciate it because it is frankly :) drive crazy me

    > I have tried Googling a lot of solutions (that much I find completely confusing) and wonder if it could be a wire lose somewhere?

    I put t think that it s a connection lost problem.
    But to be honest I'm not quite sure if it's just a problem of software/graphics card driver or maybe a serious display problem.

    In any case; from my point of view, you must perform some tests. For example, you must uninstall the graphics driver (can be done in the Device Manager) and should download and install the latest available on the European driver Toshiba page.
    In addition you should also connect an external monitor to the laptop to check if the same problems of display is visible on2nd, external monitor.

    In case the external monitor would be unaffected, the problem is not related to the graphics card or graphics card driver, but without doubt the dysfunctions of the screen internal.
    In this case this part needs to be replaced.

  • HP Pavilion screen flicker

    I have a P7-1054 with 6 GB of RAM... If I open a window with another thing black on it and it gets too big on the screen (too much color), the entire screen will begin to Flash.  Windows more I opened, the worse the flicker becomes... and by 'Flicker', I hear whole screen goes black and then comes back on again... like he has paint from the top down... and 'worse', I mean the paint becomes slower and slower I have open new windows.  It's in the computer, not the monitor because the mouse hangs out with each Flash.

    She broke in February and HP he shipped to the factory and replaced the hard drive and CPU... It flickered a little then but was not too bad.  Then, I didn't use it much and now it is almost unusable because the flicker is so bad.

    I played with resolutions and refresh, updated rates to update my video drivers... even returned to the original video drivers, just to see if there was a problem with the new drivers, but the flicker had much worse... even takes place in the stop down and the blue of the BIOS boot screens, and after you have reinstalled the new drivers Twinkle is now constant, even with a black screen with just the icons.

    Not really what to do with it at this time, in addition to the replacement of components on my own and see what suits him.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere or have any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Tal

    I installed the ATI graphics card update (as well as all the other drivers in the Manager install AMD that linking installed)... Also updated the BIOS.

    Nothing else seemed to work so I switched to DVI/VGA... the VGA connection seems to be perfect so far... I guess that means that there is a hardware problem with the DVI connection.

    It is not IW so I guess I either buy a new motherboard or stay with VGA... because I wanted 3 installation of the monitor, the VGA connection and a new video card will probably work for me.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Thank you for your response.

    Here is a link to the HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. Please see Chapter 4 for removal and replacement.

    When I was browsing through the maintenance and service guide, I noticed you have switchable graphics.

    That being said, I suggest you do a recovery in factory.  This will reinstall the drivers of graphics cards correctly and I hope to solve this problem.

    During the recovery, there is an option to backup your personal data if you do not have a recently I'd do one now to avoid any data loss.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 - black screen on startup, but works using the secondary monitor?

    I use a Pavilion dv6 WV815AV, and I used it for 3 years now.

    I tried to start the computer and the fan and lights are lit, but not the monitor.  I tried to plug in my high school, and it's that now treats as if it were the only screen.  I had problems in the past of a few times where I would get past the HP logo, and then there would be a substantial delay where the screen remains black but be illuminated, but most of the time that he would go to the screen connection, and if not, a simple reboot managed to solve the problem.

  • S10e: External screen flicker

    I bought a S10e in Germany, a black version with 160 GB HDD, 1.5 GB of RAM. But since it could be the design function, it could hold for other netbooks as well.

    When you connect an external monitor to my netbook, it starts blinking (lines as if you have configured a bad phase to your screen). After changing the position of the wire the flicker is improving, but after some time, step by step, she returned. I've tried several screens external (such as 19 ", 22", 24") with different resolutions. Especially with dark colors, this is really boring.

    Someone at - it an idea? I guess it's because of the narrow investment decision-making for the ACplug... Thank you

  • HP DV6 6099EL: SCREEN WHITE AFTER BIOS UPDATE

    My computer was perfectly fine until I downloaded and updated the bios from the hp site. Installation succeeded, and rebooted the pc. After the reboot, nothing came on the screen.

    I tried different solutions in different forums, including the one that includes the dowmloading and extract the EXE file in a usb port, to creating the ROM, FD and BIN file then using window + keys b after reboot.
    The problem is that the motherboard does not seem to read the usb cos the usual light that flashes in a work usb flashes ever.

    I do not have partition tools hp cos a few months ago, I changed my hard drive.

    Someone please help.

    Thank you.

    Format a USB drive in FAT32.

    Download the version of the BIOS F.1A

    Unzip it into a folder. Place the file 01658.bin in the root of a usb key.

    Download page for your laptop are at the following ADDRESS.

    Plug the USB key into a usb 2.0 port. Hold the Windows k and B. keep press now these keys and press the power button.  Wait for the laptop to react. This can take 15 to 30 seconds and the BIOS must retrieve using the version that is in the USB flash drive.

    Hi, I have a HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej, and I want to use the on-screen display to see, for example when the volume when I turn upwards or downwards (also for changes in brightness and so..).

    I looked in programs and features in Control Panel and I saw that I have the latest version of the driver (version 1.3.5).

    I couldn't find the actual prgoram to the start menu (I don't even know if it exists).

  • Occasional screen flicker (HP Pavilion dv5-1010us)

    Greetings,

    I bought my HP Pavilion dv5-1010us Entertainment pc precisely the Labor Day 2008 due to a current sale.

    The screen tends to flicker in mostly white with thin bars of color (reflecting the colours that are supposed to be shown) vertical to the Center and some goes horizontal upward.

    The problem arose only recently, and it appears sporadically. Sometimes he just blinks a couple seconds, then returns to normal and doesn't happen for a while. Other times, he'll almost constantly, and I don't see what I'm doing.

    Also, sometimes, before or after the screen flashed, thick horizontal bars darken the screen and move up and down several times, vaguely remenisant for when you take a video of television or similar, and horizontal bars scrolling down it.

    It seems to happen also only usually when a) the lapotp isn't on a resistant surface, small tremors every now and again because of the surface, and b) whenever I have tilt the screen.

    Sometimes, just put the screen to another post he corrects, but most of the time, I just have to wait until it stops flashing.

    I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit,

    graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9200 M GS

    in Device Manager, it says the driver is 'Generic PnP monitor', but he also says that it's the updated driver.

    (Short version)

    Specifications of the computer:

    Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    nVidia GeForce 9200 M GS

    'Generic PnP monitor' pilot

    Question: Screen flickers sporadically mainly white with a few fine lines color when the laptop screen is tilted or unstable and sometimes at very random times.

    The problem only recently.

    I called earlier to HP support. (Sometimes at the begginning of the month).

    There was nothing that they could do over the phone, so they sent me a box on 2 days shipping from FedEx.

    Got the box and sent my laptop. They received it the 7 and 8 sent using FedEx. I got it on the 10th.

    From what I can tell, it's a brand new screen. The top of my laptop (the back of the monitor) had a few minor and cosmetic scratches in the surface of the it normal wear and tear when I sent it. When I got the laptop repaired, there is a movie on top of the laptop (the back of the screen). I peeled off the power, and there is no scratches whatsoever.

    Certainly it's even portable, although (my touchpad has a few marks on it, too, normal wear and tear.) I often use this machine. ). Therefore, a new screen.

    The left side is also is no longer loose at all, and it works exactly as it should.

    I used every day since I got back and have had no problems or issues at all the.

    The only solution seems to be to send in, unfortunately. On the positive side, however, it only took about 7 business days after I got out the phone with them for me to have the back already.

    I called on a Tuesday evening has obtained the box this Thursday evening when I'm off work, he left FedEx on Friday, they got it on the following Tuesday, and he had fixed and shipped Wednesday, for me to have received this Friday.

    In short, it is a pity that the screen stopped working properly, it was not too scary to little more than a week without it.
