If the screen flickers in BIOS, it indicates a hardware issue, likely a loose display cable due to wear from the laptop's hinge mechanism. This is a common problem as the cable bends with repeated opening and closing, potentially causing damage over time. It's advisable to stop using the laptop in this state and visit the nearest acer service center for proper diagnosis and repair

There may be several reasons for your laptop screen flickering:-

Loose or damaged cable connection: A faulty cable connecting the screen to the motherboard may cause flickering.

Outdated or incompatible drivers: If your computer’s display drivers are outdated or incompatible, it may lead to screen flickering issues.

Faulty screen or hardware: A faulty screen or internal hardware component can also cause flickering.

Overheating: Overheating the laptop can cause the screen flickering issue.

Software issues: Some software or apps may cause some problems, leading to screen flickering.

Incorrect refresh rate: An incorrect refresh rate setting may also result in a flickering screen issue.

You can start by checking your HDMI, Display-Port, or USB-C cables. Ensure that the cables are securely connected to both the monitor and the laptop. Make sure that the cable is fully tightened and it doesn’t look
or feel loose. This applies to all cable types, which can become loose for various reasons. Plug in your system to an external monitor to check if the issue reoccurs. If the problem does not occur on the external
display, it may be due to a hardware issue with the laptop’s screen.

Next is to make sure that the graphic card driver is update. Outdated drivers may cause incompatibility, leading to screen flickering problems. Regularly updating drivers ensures optimal performance and a
flicker-free experience.

Also to note overheating can cause hardware issues so, routinely check your laptop’s temperature to ensure it is not overheating. Make sure you clean any dust or debris from the vents and fans to improve airflow.

Hi… First, connect your laptop to an external monitor. If the same issue occurs, try booting into safe mode with basic video settings to see if the display adapter or other drivers need reinstalling. If this is a recent problem, restoring the system to a previous point may be helpful.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it could be due to a loose connection with the panel cable, which might be an easy fix. Alternatively, the screen itself may need replacement. In that case, I recommend visiting Acer services for professional help.
