[QUOTE="TheMalwareMaster, post: 828722, member: 47679"] Hello, my acer laptop screen started flickering on startup. That doesn't happen all the times I start my computer, but only sometimes and only for a short amount of time after I pressed the ON button. When I reach the screen before the login page (the one with a wallpaper) it has already finished. That is not a huge issue, however I would like to understand why it happens. All I did recently was to disable secure boot, trying a linux live distro and then I enabled secure boot again. I notice it usually happens when I open in a fast way the laptop and press the ON button. If I open it in a fast way, the screen is moving because the material its made of looks really bad (it is made of plastic, not a really solid one) This is the model: Acer aspire 3 A315-51-3510 I bought it less than one year ago when my other Acer laptop screen failed (hope it's not the screen again) Thanks in advance Update: as pointed by [USER=30411]@Vasudev[/USER] the hinge could be broken. That is likely because I travel a lot by train and put the PC in the luggage. Even if it has its own box, bad materials could lead to a hinge broken [/QUOTE]
