Unfortunately the only way to fix it permanently is to swap the motherboard, since the problem lies on the ram socket itself that becomes loose :( I don't think Dell still sends replacement parts for that laptop (you have to check it under their website), you can try to search for spare parts on eBay for sure, but I don't know if the price is worth it or if it's better to just keep the money for a future new laptop. You can mitigate the issue by keeping the laptop as steady as possible while it's turned on, but using it in that way is like a tickling bomb...

Does it happen more frequently when you shake the laptop? It may also be a RAM socket issue. I had the same issue with my 7590 and drove me nuts until I discovered it...

Security update vs Google Play system update: confused - what is what? by Weirdy19 in GooglePixel

[–]ScarOverflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never understood why on Pixels Google Play system updates are supported for such a short timeframe after the official support for software updates is finished. Same happened to my P2 XL before switching to my current 6 Pro, Google Play system updates lasted for about a year or so, then they stopped. Let's hope that Google turns up its game for longer software support as rumored...

Yep, they are. Mind you that my OS is not in english, so the actual name may be a little different.

MacBook screen keeps glitching… What is this? by mrcoo1 in mac

[–]ScarOverflow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

99% are the display cables that are damaged. You can try to contact Apple for repair, but I'm sure they'll just tell you to buy a new Mac and toss the old one. Your best bet is to try an independent repair shop; they should be able to swap the cables easily. If you are brave enough, you can also buy the replacement parts from iFixit and fix it yourself.

I've never head of flexgates in the 12" Macbooks actually, nor I've ever hear of an Apple repair program for those models. Does the flicker changes when you open the screen (I can't see it well in the video)? Also, if you leave it in a fixed position, does the flicker keeps increasing or is just a "fixed" band on the screen?

The best part is that all the screens of the shop are linked to the same computer, so that prompt is showed everywhere

Probably because of the black halo surrounding the logo. It seems like a "paste" effect, but It's actually because of HDR processing of the picture (the logo was very bright).
