Hello everyone,
I have a Dell Inspiron 7559
The specs are :
Intel 6th gen i7 - 6700HQ
GPU : Nvidia 960M 4GB
Non touch display (I dont think other deets are necessary beyond this point)
16 GB ram tho
So my laptop has been having a weird issue for almost the past year now.
The moment a Graphic intensive application is being used, the screen starts to flicker.
My natural assumption was my poor gpu or board (OR my display/ display cable) is dying, but that wasn't the case; hear me out please
The laptop screen did not flicker when the lid was moved to a certain position, beyond 90 degrees or near closing of the lid
If it were a GPU issue, the problem should prevail when I connect it to an external display right? (through HDMI). It did not.
SO after that I thought it was the display/ display cable and I sent it to my usual repair guy. The funny part was he said even after replacing the display and the display cable, the issue persisted, therefore leading back to a board issue but HOW?
Any solutions or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton
P.S (Unnecessary information : I cant afford a new laptop but I need a powerful system for my work, thats why Im holding on to this one dearly, also this is my first post, I hope I havent broken rules or any formatting)
