Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p VGA Output - Horizontal Lines And Flickering

Jan 25, 2014

I have a fairly new y510p (about 2 months old), haswell processor intel HD4600 onboard and GT750M (non SLI model). 
When connecting latop to external monitor via VGA connection, I can see the image but it looks terrible, horizontal blue lines and flickering. I don't have any option to change the refresh rate, since Windows 8.1 identifies monitor as being 60mhz (other sources work fine on that frequency).
 
I've tried 2 different LCD monitors, 2 different VGA cables and get same result.
Have latest drivers.
 
HDMI output works fine. Yet not uncommon for me to need to give a presentation at a place with older equipment where I must connect via VGA.
 
Before I call support to take laptop in... any one else has encountered this problem?
 
Is there a way for me to force the GT750M to be used for external output? I have tried setting in NVidia control panel (default NVidia to maximum performace and Intel is still being used for projection output).

Dell :: Flickering Horizontal LCD Lines On M1530

Jan 20, 2009

Hi - I have an 8 month old M1530. Intermittantly I have experienced horizontal lines (multiple) that flicker.

It depends upon the angle that the screen is tilted backwards. Although I have found ways to "fix" it in the past (by opening the screen completely and then adjusting to the prefered angle),

I am now getting these lines at any angle greater than about 80 degrees. And, I can no longer fix it. Any ideas what this is? Can I fix it myself (loose cable) or do I need to call Dell.

Dell Alienware M17x R3 :: Thin Flickering Horizontal Lines In The Bottom And Top Of Laptop Screen

Dec 3, 2014

I have a M17x R3 laptop since a few years. A few weeks ago I sent it to the shop to have a SSD installed and have Win7 reinstalled (Windows Explorer kept crashing all the time and I wasnt able to format for some reason). When it got back from the shop, I realized a problem that was not there before.

There are 2 horizontal lines, one at the top and one at the bottom of my screen that keep flickering. They dont appear when I'm on the desktop or playing games, only when I have a program running (iTunes, Steam, DivX, etc) in fullscreen. 

Here are my specs

Alienware M17X R3
Windows 7 64 bit
AMD Radeon HD 6870M (I also have Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 in my display drivers. Just noticed that the version for both is 9.3.0)
6GB RAM

Dont know if it has anything to do with this, but when I got my laptop back I tried to install Cataclyst Control Center and it messed up my graphics bad, I could only run 640x480 and the only way to fix this was to uninstall CCC.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510P HDMI Quality Output - Not Optimal Screen Resolution For Primary Display

Jan 1, 2015

I have a problem with hdmi output to my TV screen.

I have Y510P (i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz,  Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

& NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M, Win 8.1 64-bit(6.3 build 9600), all with latest drivers )

My TV is Panasonic TH-L32B6. When I connect my laptop to TV it shows me awful picture quality and notification that “this is not optimal screen resolution for the primary display. The optimal res. Is 1280x720”. But with 1280x720 it’s still awful. It works fine just with 1024x768 res. I have no such a problem with my other TV LG 47LS570Y. How can i fix picture quality with higher resolution? I tried another OS like Ubuntu and a couple of hdmi cables…(see attachment)

HP Envy Dv7 Display :: Flickering Narrow Horizontal Line On Monitor

May 13, 2014

For the past several days a narrow horizontal line appears in the lower part of the screen on my Envy dv7 laptop - Windows 8, Intel i5 processor - that I purchased in Janurary 2013.The line flickers in various colors and is very annoying. I pulled up the BIOS screen and the line does not appear. I don't have another monitor to plug into, so I can't run that test. Everything else is functioning normally.

Dell :: XPS M1330Screen Froze With Horizontal Greenish Pixel Lines

Apr 12, 2010

I've been travelling for the last 14 months and couldn't stand using my Asus EEE 901 as my only computer. So I got my beloved XPS M1330 send to me from sweden (where I'm from) a couple of weeks ago.

Everything worked fine when I got it, but quickly installed windows 7 on it (since win 7 wasn't released when I left home).
I did however notice that the CPU usage was always between 10-40%, even when I didn't do anything. It became better when I installed windows 7 but was still unusually high. That didn't really do anything because it was such pleasure using a real computer after a year with a 8,9" netbook as only computer.

[PPROBLEM START]
Approximately 1,5 week after I recived my computer, I was surfing the web as usual, when I suddenly noticed a spot in the middle of the screen. I tried to scroll to see if it was some dirt on the screen but it followed the scroll.
A couple of second later the screen got colored horizontal lines and after another couple of seconds the screen looked like this:

I got completely terrified, and the happiness i had for my "new" computer quickly turned into a horror movie.
I had to hold the power button to turn it off and after a couple of minutes I started it again. Bios loading looked fine but the screen froze at the Windows loading bars with some colored lines in the middle. Had to hold power to turn it off, and haven't dared to start it again since.

Is it my graphics card (8400 GS 128MB) that has died, or is it the motherboard which is causing the problem?

And are there any chances that I somehow can fix it?
I bought my XPS M1330 the 28th of December 2007 (2 years and 4,5 months ago), is it still covered by any warranty? Because it is obviously not a user caused problem.

HP/Compaq :: DV5t- Display-some Time Discontinuous Horizontal Lines Appears

Feb 22, 2009

I own a HP dv5t-1000 LAPTOP which I bought around 3 months ago.It was running great, but now a problem in LCD screen has starts appearing.Its really hard to explain that why I have attached snaps to show what's really happening.

What happens that some time discontinuous horizontal lines appears on the lower or upper part or on the whole screen of the laptop.They become prominent when the LCD brightness is dim.

The screen become normal again when I move the laptop lid back or froth.

To double check my LCD I even tried using secondary display (A CRT monitor) and the picture appears to be fine on the monitor(I guess Graphic Card is working fine).

Dell Inspiron 3520 :: Upgraded To Windows 8.1 - Breaking Up Of Screen With Loads Of Horizontal Lines Running Across It

Dec 15, 2014

I inadvertently upgraded to Windows 8.1 which I had been trying to avoid doing and don't know how it happened as I had continually knocked back prompts to upgrade.  I originally did upgrade to 8.1 last year and had such major graphics issues I eventually restored factory settings to get back to Windows 8 which solved all the issues.  Now the same problems are happening i.e. breaking up of the screen with loads of horizontal lines running across it.  

I downloaded all the updated drivers I could from the Dell site but the graphics driver and video driver would not work and I kept getting the message that the laptop was not compatible with the downloads.  It is a Dell Inspiron 3520 and the recommended drivers just will not install. I don't want to have to go through all the hassle of restoring factory settings again.  I am sure the problem is with these 2 drivers mainly the NDJN4 video driver.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X120e - Horizontal Screen Flicker

Feb 6, 2014

My x120e has been giving me grief recently. It started when, upon awaking the computer, my screen would be very distorted. It was mostly horizontal and was different from the known horizontal screen flicker issue. It would take up large parts of the screen, but no more than half. Now get this, the distortion changed totally depending on what was on the screen. I could even get it to go away completely if I just opened the start menu (with my task bar on the left side of the screen). Typically a restart would alleviate the issue. 
 
I would get a screencap for you guys, but last night I shut down the laptop to 'fix' the issue and the screen never came back on. I can still use an external monitor so I'm not thinking this is a graphics card problem, or at least not entirely.

Lenovo ThinkPad W540 Series :: Displays Are Flickering Off And On Randomly

Feb 20, 2014

I just got me a W540 with docking. It is connected with two Samsung 24inc screens. They are connected with two display ports kables from the docking. I also have a wireless logitech mouse and keybord. And a Jabra headset connected.I have reinstalled it with windows 8.1 And now I have a serious issue that both screens turns off randomly while I work. They go black for 15 sec. And then re-appear. It seems like the computer looses all USB connection also while this happens. I sometime get an error msg. saying that I connected a USB device that cant be recognized. But most of the time nothing happens.

All 3 of us at work who has a W540 has this issue. So it must be known by Lenovo. I have an ongoing case with the support. But dosnt look like we are getting anywhere. They gave me this to try: URL...We think it could be a driver issue with the USB or that the computer is swiching between the Intel and the Nvidia gfx card.I think I have tried about everything, but can not figgure this one out. I have all the latest drivers from Lenovo installed. Tried to use a wired mouse and keyb. no change, tried with a DVI and Displayport to the screen. No change.
 
Here is a link to Lenovos System report on my W540. URL...

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Screen Brightness Flickering When Z570 Plugged In

Jan 5, 2014

When plugged into the adapter my Levovo Z570 screen flickers between bright and dark when on certain webpages or doing certain tasks. I have changed the battery and this makes no difference. This doesnt happen when on battery power.
 
Note that the brightness is flicking between the battery brightness setting and plugged in brightness setting. So if there is a large difference between the two the flickering is very noticable and distracting. If I make the battery brightness the same as the plugged in brightness the flickering doesnt happen.

May 25, 2014

Just received my new X1 model#  20a70037-US last week and right out of the box the screen was already flickering. When the laptop is booting up in the POST screen you see a bunch of little white dots all over and as soon as you get to the windows login screen the flickering begins. Just like on this video I found online [URL] ....
 
I uninstalled the Intel drivers and now it's flickers less and the laptop is somewhat usable. I should be receiving my replacement unit this week, can't wait to have this laptop working 100%.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y500 Display Lines And Distortion

Jun 10, 2014

My Y500 (one of the older models) has some weird display issues for some time now. When I try to adjust the screen angle, some horizontal green lines appear randomly on my screen. Some other parts also have vertical magenta lines. Then I have to try several angles until I find a position where the display doesn't show any problems. This happens almost every time when I open the display and turn it on. Sometimes it is less of a problem and sometimes more. If I don't move the laptop or the screen the problem does not show up. My drivers should all be up to date and I have Windows 8.1.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510P Discharging By 1% Every Day

Oct 26, 2013

My lenovo Y510P used to always be at 100% but I have realized it has been decreasing by 1 every day. I have it on Maximum Battery Life with the Energy Management application.

It is currently at 85% and I would have posted this sooner if I had payed attention. I changed it to Optimized Battery Health and it is now dropping, currently at 75%. 

I always leave the laptop plugged in because I usually play games on it such as battlefield, dayZ, counter strike, etc.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p BF3 Sudden Low FPS

Jan 4, 2014

I've been playing Battlefield 3 for some time on Auto settings (most of them are Ultra) and my FPS were always in the range 65-85. Yesterday morning everything was fine, however at night when I opened the game again I had 10-15 FPS. I haven't changed  anything in my laptop settings so I don't know why this is happening.
 
P.S: I only have 1 GPU (not the SLI version) so I know it's not a loss of power. But my battery settings are set to "Optimized battery health". Does it affect performance ?

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p USB Ports Not Working?

Jan 3, 2015

When I recieved my Y510p about 8 months ago, the usb ports worked perfectly fine.  Around October they stopped working properly.  The only solution which I found to work was doing a system restore.  When I did this, an Unrecognized Device in the Device Manager was no longer unrecognized, and was instead replaced by USB xHCL (or something along those lines).   However, as soon as i restared my computer again, the ports broke, and the unrecognized device reappeared.  Repeating the restore followed by a restart breaks the ports every time.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p Freezing On Startup

My Y510p has been freezing on startup, every startup. It can be completely inoperable for upwards of half an hour before unfreezing. It unfortunately has been occuring since the computer arrived (21 March, this year), so I doubt it has been caused by any software I've added. Given my limited knowledge of computers.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p Does Not Recognize SSD On First Boot

Jan 10, 2014

I have a new y510p I just received this week. First thing I did was replace the 1TB HD with my own OCZ Vertex 4 256GB SSD Drive.When I power on the laptop for the first time, it does not find a bootable device (goes through network devices, then says no bootable devices). If I use ctrl-alt-delete to reboot the laptop, it then finds the drive on its own and starts booting into Windows.
 
I'd like to understand why this does not work on the first boot? I went into the BIOS and saw it says there that no drives are detected.This worries me slightly, as perhaps one day it will decide to no longer recognize the drive after the ctrl-alt-delete?
