Hi, the screen of my Acer Swift 5 SF-514-51-777U started blinking. It looks perfectly ok for 2 seconds then black for 2 seconds and so on.

The screen doesn't seem to be damaged in any way, not bent or cracked.

I have restarted the notebook, then opened it and disconnected the battery to reset everything. After switching it back on it was still doing the same.

Then I managed to disconnect the lcd screen panel and connect it back and it is still doing it.

I'm worried that it could be a hardware problem instead of a screen problem and that if I buy a replacement screen I could waste my money.

Has anybody experienced this weird problem before?

Thanks in advance
