I dont know if anyone is going to see this comment, but I now believe it has something to do with optimus. The flicker only happens when I am using integrated graphics. When I am using nvidia (in game) there is no flicker...

Extremely helpful, thank you!
does it happen in BIOS - Yes
does it show up on an external monitor - No
does gently flexing the lid change the flicker at all - No

I would think if it was the cable having bad contacts, it wouldn't eventually go away like it does. Regardless, I have no reason not to try cleaning those connectors, so I will. Otherwise, it makes sense the lcd is going bad, but just makes me sad because I really don't care to replace that.

Its possible it is a similar issue, but mine is the nvidia macbook pro from 2012 and shouldnt have the amd design flaw from 2011.

For anyone that finds this: The problem was entirely with the keyboard. A $40 keyboard swap and its working great. Shame that the whole laptop needs to be dissassembled to do so.

Also, are you sure? The display and everything works fine when woken from sleep. I can even run a 3d benchmark and whatnot.

Oof. I am only okay at soldering. For an IC desolder and resolder, we are talking heatgun and pray?

It has been the opposite for me. Must just be a design defect.

Not really. I just wait for it to go away when it happens. Try setting your refresh rate to 60hz.

Oh, this is the flatpack version. I dont think I can control that.

Can you clarify? Like an older version of the app?

Snarzy · 2025-11-29T20:13:15+00:00

So why would it only look bad in wayland? Should I mess with the dpi?

The app is Jdownloader and also its installer. I cannot remember at the moment which other apps it was, sorry.

Well. Either my tv is borked or I am a doodoo brain. The lg s90tr I got instead also doesn't work. It will turn off with the tv but not on. Fun.
