I have been experiencing this for a while now but it seem to have worsen these past few months. The screen only continues to flicker with a black screen and no display at all, however, there are a very few instances where the screen functioned completely fine. Even though I set the brightness it to the brightest level I still face the same issue when I turn the screen off and on again. Have you found a solution about your problem? Or is there even a solution for this?
