Flickering when running on battery at about 65pct

Flickering when running on battery at about 65pct

My laptop screen starts to flicker when I run on battery at about 65 pct or less. But if I plug it in to ac it works fine. I have updated all drivers and it still happens. Can anyone help?

"Hi!

Could it be that your Windows 10 (presumably) laptop is entering power-saving mode automatically and lowers the refresh rate of the LCD to save power? Check your settings and report back. Enter the Intel HD Graphics Control panel and go to the Display section, then select the appropriate refresh rate. (Your screen need to already be in that flickering state.)"

"Weak battery, back light will begin to fail. The X555LA models were known for this after about 2 years of use. Change screen out if you want to, however this will return in a couple of years.

Just change battery every 3 to 4 for years, they do go bad under heavy use.

Use the power settings to conserve battery and screen.

Hope this helps."

"Bonjour

Depuis que j'ai changé ma batterie le phénomène de clignotement est un peu moins présent. Lors de mes recherches j'ai vu sur un site un tuto d'un possesseur de portable Asus qui avait le même problème que nous et qui avait résolu son problème en ouvrant le pc portable et en déplaçant le câble de liaison entre la carte mère et l’écran (peut être un composant perturbateur à proximité ou un fil abîmé). Je viens de commander un écran. Je le remplace des réception.

Cordialement"

What is really fundamental here is whether it happens in Windows or not in Windows. Is it a software problem or a hardware problem? It’s a very simple matter to rule out software if - from the instant you turn on the laptop unplugged (at the ASUS splash, for instance) - the screen is flickering, which was the case in my customer service - and probably for Wendy, too. If it is happening at the ASUS splash it is hardware. Now I’ve read about 3 dozen complaints in a handful of forums and almost all of them said replacing the battery didn’t help. Here’s Wendy that says replacing the screen fixed her problem. Thanks for shedding some light on this mysterious problem, Wendy. Bless you! After reading your posts I replaced the screen and the problem was gone. Would love to see the science on how a “weak” battery causes this, Dark VadeR. And how do we know the battery was even weak? I just don’t see nearly enough questions being asked before people toss in their off-the-cuff diagnosis!
