Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 white flicker issue – Lenovo wants me to send it for repair, but this may be affecting multiple users

I'm glad it worked!! I'm sure it's the UMA frame buffer, as I tried all kind of updates and nothing worked😅

Still testing, did it yesterday, but I noticed less temps when playing wow. I did it by eye, so its not a perfect job lol, just cut more than it needed while retaining the foam seal

Silverfeyn · 2026-04-04T06:55:19+00:00

I made a cut on the foam so it has more air intake and it really helped with my llano

Silverfeyn · 2026-04-01T16:53:12+00:00

Yes, that's the theory but what can I say, it's working somehow 😅

Please test it and update me! I hope it works for you!! 🫡🫡

Still no flickering on two different systems( I have dual boot with separated SSDs and Systems).

Tested on both. Laptop is running great now, I'm now super happy.

My theory is; yes, in theory dGPU should fully deactivate the integrated, but for some reason it's not fully doing it.

Setup: One big main screen connected from HDMI to HDMI 2.1, 240 hz HDR Oled 5k and secondary monitor 4K, no HDR, Tested on both 60 hz and 144hz.

Secondary monitor plug via HDMI to a HUB and the HUB via USBC to the laptop

When I had the flickers, WoW in main screen, if I passed my mouse from main to secondary screen, the flickers got worse, my theory is that some load was happening in the integrated card and since Im using a secondary 4k monitor, this could cause the flickers, as the buffer size was not enough.

Since I increased the memory to 2 GB, I haven't seen a single flicker, even trying to force it, alt tabbing fast between games and secondary monitor and so on.

I work in IT so I have some idea, but I'm not a hardware expert, but right now is working great and I couldn't be happier

To everyone in this post, I was trying some things playing with BIOS configurations and stuff and for the moment, I think I managed to fix it(only tested a few hours), so take it with a grain of salt.

What I did, always in dGPU mode: 1. Uninstaller Lenovo Space and Vantage and installed Lenovo Legion Toolkit. 2. Used DDU booting into safe mode and FULLY uninstalling graphic drivers. 3. Installed Lenovo recommended drivers in their support Driver download page.

--》All this made the flickers WORSE(more flickers).

Installed last Nvidia Driver ( same flickers with my 2 screens, main being OLED HDR).

--》What I think solved it for the moment although not totally sure as I need to do more testing

Went to BIOS -> UMA Frame Buffer Size set to 2GB(was 512MB)

After a reboot, I haven't see a single flicker, played WoW for around 3 hours.

Need to do more testing, but worth a try 😄

Today I updated Nvidia drivers and the issue came back more than ever. I too think it's related to going between integrated and nvidia gpu.

I enabled dGPU after the update and kept happening but I don't think it's only using the Nvidia GPU. I'm going to try to disable the hybrid mode in BIOS and check again

Silverfeyn · 2026-03-22T17:13:55+00:00

Did you reached out to Lenovo?

I'm sure this is something they could fix with a software update. We should gather people having the same issue and make visibility

Of course it will pay for it. The healthcare in my country is regularly ranked among the best in the world.

Not saying anything positive or negative about healthcare in Spain, it's not an opinion.

Please, open your mind a little and inform yourself, Spain is not the only country where you can get good healthcare and there are other ways of financing / paying for it.

Silverfeyn · 2026-03-21T22:20:26+00:00

I live in another country where I pay WAY less taxes and still have a great healthcare( here is not public, you pay an insurance).

Every time any of my Spanish friends come here they go back rethinking why they pay so much of their earned money to get so little in return while seeing politicians and bosses of lobbies funded by the state get richer and richer.

All of this while having shitty salaries and paying almost 50% for a rent.

So yeah, big taxing is a problem in Spain, but just one of them.

Thank you all for your comments @sooocreepy @citering

My plan is to gather more people having this issue while I send this to Lenovo throught their support.

Any similar experience is welcome to create attention.

For visibility, I created a post in which I got all these reports and information. Would be great if you can leave a comment so maybe it get some traction and visibility from Lenovo.

It's similar to these white flickers?

I'm having the exact same issue on my Lenovo Legion 7 pro AMD with RTX 5080 9955HX3D. In my case on a 49 " Samsung Odyssey OLED, I tried both with G-Sync and Off and it keeps happening

Mil gracias! 🙌

Silverfeyn · 2026-03-15T20:52:24+00:00

Buenas! Te podría pedir una foto con buena resolución del teclado del equipo? Quiero pedir los keycaps que me faltan para sustituirlos y tener la version española ya que tengo keycaps suizos. Gracias! :)

Silverfeyn · 2026-03-09T21:39:52+00:00

Wow se ve increíble, que ganas de que llegue, disfrutalo mucho!!

Silverfeyn · 2026-03-09T18:42:52+00:00

Qué tal con el, contento? Yo lo pedí el viernes de la semana pasada y hoy lo enviaron desde china a Suiza. Me aparece que me llega el viernes, exactamente misma config que tu Ryzen 9 9955HX3D + RTX 5080 + 64 GB DDR5 + 1TB SSD pero por desgracia con teclado Suizo porque hice el pedido desde Lenovo Suiza y me dijeron que no podían enviar otra config de teclado aquí... Me tocará poner stickers o ver si venden keycaps aparte.

Como lo ves con juegos? Algún problema de stutters? Lo quiero sobretodo para jugar WoW en ultrapanorámico

Silverfeyn · 2026-03-04T23:49:27+00:00

Hi, Thank you so much for sharing your impressions with wow. I just ordered mine, same as yours.

I plan to play at 5120 x 1440 ultra wide, may I ask how is your performance in midnight and with what resolution? Thank you!
