Reset Display Settings: At other moments, your laptop’s display settings could be in a wrong mode and await a correction. To solve the problem, one has to press the “Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B” keys in order to refresh the connection with the monitor.

Test External Monitor: Try plugging the laptop in an external screen in order to rule out an issue with the internal screen. If the external monitor is working well then the problem might be with the laptop’s LED screen.

 Solution:

 Update Graphics Drivers: Alternatively, a flickering screen’s main causes include old or incompatible graphics drivers. To rectify this issue, go to the Lenovo support site, download the latest drivers and update your system.

 Adjust Display Settings: Some settings might also attribute to flickering such as if the refresh rate of your display is not compatible. Open “Display Settings” on your laptop and check the refresh rate to optimise it depending on the display of the screen.

 Check for Physical Damage: At other times, it could be as a result of loose or damaged display cables that connect the monitor to the computer. If you have been experiencing some physical damage then it is advisable that you take your laptop to a professional so they can carry out a deeper assessment.
