Thanks, you saved me some time with the same issue I'm sure on my T430. By the way, you are very talented and not just your technical skills...you have the full package young man. Kudos to those responsible for your upbringing and keep going on your path, you're destined for the top.
Thanks for this, had the same issue in my x240, replacing the cable worked like magic. Replacing this in x240 is even faster as you have cable right beneath the cover.
Me too, my Lenovo yoga has a flickering screen, it’s not as bad as the one in the video, but when i press the corner it stops. It’s very strange as some days i can go three days without it flickering at all. Have you got your fixed, as i don’t know if i could fix mine at home or pay to get it repaired?
The way this Thinkpad's can be disassembled....just like my normal stationary pc was the reason I bought a Thinkpad L480 for school work and I'am sooooo happy that Thinkpad
Great video and with a happy ending! Makes you wonder though why Lenovo did not design the laptop with a better protection for the screen cable. Love all your videos. More please! Many thanks for sharing.
I have a flex and this happened for the first tie while browsing the internet. I haven't been able to replicate it but thank you for making this video.
Rossmann is one of my favorite TH-camrs. I was in New York back in October and wanted to visit his store, but it was right after the building fire happened so the place was obviously closed.
What's really good on Thinkpads that are using Intel's 2nd Gen and up is the ability to Speed Up your Mechanical Hard Drive using MSATA.. Or you can install your Operating System on MSATA SSD and leave the Hard Drive as Local Disk
Agreed. At this point in time it's less worth it to get an mSATA SSD because of how much cheaper standard 2.5" SSDs are. I used to often sell systems with a 64 or 128 GB mSATA SSD and then a 500 GB hard drive, but now SSDs are cheap enough that I usually put in a 250 GB or 500 GB SSD. mSATA and 42mm M.2 drives (used in some newer ThinkPads) generally cost more per GB than a 2.5" SATA drives, since they aren't as common. For systems where I need a LOT of storage, such as my desktop (Ivy Bridge let's goo!), I still use the mSATA SSD/SATA HDD combo.
Thank you for the video :)! I have a T470 with a similar but different screen problem. It normally starts fine, but after some time (it can be between 0,5 - a few hours) of use, it starts to flick a bit then getting darker until it becomes unresponsive. Funny thing is, if I move the screen before it stops working, I can use the mouse or keyboard, sometimes the screen goes back to normal, but sometimes it keeps flicking, so I have to restart the computer any way. Have you ever experienced this issue of a Lenovo laptop and do you think it could be the connection from the motherboard to the screen, which makes the problem? Thank you for your time!
My laptop also do the same thing,but its only happen when I plug a cable to the external monitor(but no display on the external monitor). If I dont plug in, it just blank/black but thr system is on
@@@SebisRandomTech Very good idea above, Id like to see you do that. Could you, would you upgrade the CPU to a i7-4910QM? If yes could you show the additional steps, parts, conditions that you would need to be aware of? Thanks for this rather Nice video.
My lenovo laptop screen suddenly blinks some white things and At first I thought it was flickering so I tried everything to fix it but it still remained does anyone have any suggestions lol pls help
Hi cool videos. Thanks to your videos I just bought x230 and it is awesome. I have just one question how reliable is the track point? Should I be worried about wear of the track point? Any experience? Thanks
It will wear out in time as will anything else, the X201 I worked on in a previous video was so worn out that the texture on the tip was completely gone! But I can tell you that it takes a very long time and many years of hard use for the trackpoint to wear out, and usually by that point it's time to get a new keyboard anyway.
Thank for posting these very informative videos. I have a T450 that I upgraded to 1080p from a TN panel. The problem is the brightness cannot be adjusted anymore. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thank you in advance.
The xx50 series ThinkPads have a display whitelist that prevents aftermarket screens from working. You can either reflash the EDID on the screen itself to trick the laptop into thinking it’s a genuine display, or hunt down a genuine T450S 1080p screen.
See now, I have all the same problems displayed here but on a T540p BUT it’s only on the right side of my screen. I do believe it happened because of my brother a long time ago smacked the back side of it and since then I’d just do the same to fix it but now it’s gone completely dead, just white, except for when I turn on the laptop I can see that it does flicker the way it used to normally. So please if you still manage to check comments here. What’s the possible problem here
Great to watch your videos it was helpful but my case is slightly different from this it has got flicker with horizontal lines appearing sometimes then when i put the charge on it goes away, what may you think it caused that??, thanks
Hey, this is really nice and useful video.My Lenovo laptop has the same screen flickering issue.But I can't repair it by myself.And I can't go and send it to service shop coz I am too far away from where it is.I can only able to repair it in coming August.Is it okay to use my laptop during this time without repairing.I really really wanna know.Plz answer my question,sir.It's very important to me.
It would be best to get things checked out sooner rather than later, if your model is the same as this one then it shouldn't be too difficult to repair it yourself. You just need a small Phillips screwdriver and a replacement cable (if the cable is the problem). If you absolutely can't get it repaired then you may be able to continue using it, cautiously, until you can get it repaired.
@@SebisRandomTech First of all,thank you so much for answering sir.My laptop and this one are not the same model.And when I search and read abt cable connection problems,I found that it will get worse after a while if not repaired.So I decided not to use my laptop until it is repaired.
Hi, I recently experienced this problem happening to my Lenovo Ideapad 3 that I recently purchased a while ago. If I run specific apps, my computer crashes and keeps on flickering(Making noises). It also increases my pc's temperature. Sometimes it just goes into BSOD and forces me to restart. I have tried everything I could and nothing seems to help. When I boot up the laptop It looks perfectly fine, but after a while it continuously freezes and flashes. The only fix was to restart and hope for the best. If you need extra details, I can reply and provide you with them. Thanks
There's a lot of different things there that could be the problem. When it comes to temperature, make sure your fans/vents are clean and the thermal paste is still effective. If certain programs are causing you issues, try reinstalling those programs or updating your drivers. Try making a live Linux USB drive, boot into it, and see if you still have issues there. From there we might be able to narrow things down.
My Lenovo ideapad 110's problem is horizontal half screen. Down half display working well, buy top half display working very slowly. What's the solution? Please help
Try first to make sure that the display cable's connection on both ends is secure and isn't frayed or worn. You can also see if upgrading graphics drivers helps, and the final possibility is the display itself going bad.
I just got the T420 two days ago, I got death pixels only on a column when there is dark green and blue pictures, the column is getting light some times and I seeing up and down the brightness (this is why I find this video) the best idea is return to the buyer but still want to fix it, any idea?
can u please tell me what actually the issue is??? Having the same problem in my HP laptop from last 1 week. Please reply to my query as it would help me to make the repair person understand
hi there, can you the number of pins for display without open it? (lenovo T44OP), as i searched it seems many of them have 30 pins....my lenovo T440p is same like this in video whcih does not have finger print reader so does it mean it doesn't have 30 pin connector?
Does the computer flicker when its closed and plugged into a display over VGA ? I am having a weird problem my backlight is out , if I shine a flashlight I can see the machine booted and went to the login splash. When I connect to a VGA monitor it shows the screen as black no signal. Then my other machine displays verical lines in all colors with artifacts within the lines, alien looking letters. This one is a Dell machine but I figured you may have had this problem with all the laptops you change hands with its plausible. I cant find this problem ANYWHERE , its a Dell Latitude D600 but I collect laptops from all eras as long as they're in new condition. This computer looks like it just came out of a store, I thought it may have been an incompatibility with the RAM the person who owned tried upgrading before giving it away because it 'wasnt't working' . I just bought a Lenovo but its an ideapad 330s w/optane , I wish I would have been able to get the Thinkpad espeically the x1 carbon, but it was out of my budget.
@Steve The first one sounds like you need to press the hotkey to switch the video output to an external monitor. The second one sounds like a dead graphics card to me, especially when you mentioned the garbled text.
See if pressing against the panel changes the flickering, and then take the unit apart to see if tampering with the display cable affects the flickering. This will help you determine if it is a display problem, a cable problem, or a motherboard problem.
Hi, I have an ASUS FX505 laptop. When an external monitor is attached, everything's fine... until I use "Extended display" mode. Laptop display (the main one) gets distorted and shifted. Please, I would appreciate it if you can help me. Thanks a lot.
my lenovo laptop flickers way worse than that and when i keep pressing the lenovo care button it gets fixed and when i remove my hand the problem happens again.. so i got a BIG paper clip to hold the screen or squeeze it as i may say and it solves the problem when i use this paper clip thing plus put something against my laptop from the back..... wut do :(
flickering occured problem, =>first i desabeled => deleted driver => updated driver => not solved my problem => i changed my display => thought not solved => should the problem may be the cable(fab) to the monitor? plz any solution, => i am using my lenovo ideapad 100 15 ibd by desabling grafic driver.
I have a question (really hope someone can advise)... Quick background: My T460 screen is flickering/freezing, and to 'unfreeze' it I just have to move the screen a tiny bit. So it could be a loose connection which is what I want to check. My question: I started removing the plastic frame/bezel around the screen, but I'm concerned about the glue that's there - will I need to glue or tape anything when I re-assemble it? Or is the glue not necessary - can I just clip the plastic back in once I'm done? (Pardon the noob question here. I don't want a situation where the screen gets displaced or something because there's no glue.)
On the T460 you have to carefully remove the adhesive with the front bezel, if not replacement adhesives are offered online. It will not affect the screen in any way really, it's mostly cosmetic.
@@SebisRandomTech yes I think it is a panel because when I plug a VGA monitor in it, the picture was fine...I thought it was the integrated graphics... Could be the cable but think it's more likely the panel. Thankyou
Hey , I have a T460s which is a fairly new laptop . When I boot up this laptop all is see verticals lines , nothing else appears . I may have had a virus downloaded by mistake . Is there a fix to my issue ? Is this problem related to your problem or graphic card he gone bad ? Just to let you know after virus was downloaded I was able to see like half screen clearly than it started loosing little by little and now all I see vertical lines , I can’t even boot the laptop into windows 10 ( installer OS ) . Any advise is nightly appreciated .
Nice video sir.. i am looking for information about ssd in this laptop.. can i instal m.2 ssd in wwan slot as my primary boot option drive along with hdd for my file storage? i am from indonesia and sorry if i use wrong english..^_^
Your English is fairly decent, better than some native speakers I know! But yes, you can use an m.2 SSD as the boot drive. Just make sure it is a SATA drive and NOT an NVME drive, or it won’t work. Also make sure it is a 42MM drive and not a 60 or 80MM drive or it won’t fit.
@@SebisRandomTech thanks a lot sir for your reply.. i have just subscribe to your chanel..😊 have you ever used thinkpad x 240 model? i found information in this video last night: th-cam.com/video/g0U4aVKkD4I/w-d-xo.html it was said thinkpad x240 model also has 16 gb ssd using as cache.. in this case should i keep installed my ssd as primary drive in wwan slot or replace that 16 gb cache ssd with the new one sir?? thanks sir.. i am going to use this laptop to do my school assignment such as graphic and simple video editing.. 😃
It is theoretically possible if you are a master at soldering. The only Haswell CPUs that had Iris Pro graphics are BGA (soldered on) chips. I saw something about that in the ThinkPad forums a while ago.
@@SebisRandomTech AHH I see they are readily available with the bga to PGA adapters on websites like taebou (I think it's that) would you recommend buying one?
I own t460s.it does the same thing after 3 years of usage.also the pads on the back cracked and fell off one by one. It’s a good machine but the placement of that cable does not instill confidence to the brand.
Sebi's Random Tech yeah the batteries .there are two inside, from different manufacturers and one of them gets always first discharged and than recharged so it goes through a lot more cycles and wear . On the other hand the other one also degrades by being used far less because it sits there at highest voltage at 100 percent much longer. In simple words 2 battery system is not optimized for charging.
@@ziwkovic6141 Well the charging system had originally been designed for one of the batteries being external, as had been the case on the T440s/T450s. So in that sense it made sense to have one (the external battery) discharge first. I truly think Lenovo had either originally planned for the T460s to continue having an external battery, or (most likely) did not want to redesign the motherboard or chassis to accommodate one larger internal battery, hence why the T460s uses 2 internal batteries.
@@SebisRandomTech Do you know if ThinkPads (or specifically the T460 or T460p) have the feature of keeping the battery only charged up to 50% or 80% to help preserve battery health when always plugged into the power outlet? Sony VAIOs had that power management feature and I recently saw a 2019 Dell Insperon with that feature.
@@YaotlIshbu You can configure those things in Lenovo's Vantage software that is installed on ThinkPads in Windows. Not sure if there are ways to control that in the BIOS but I know you can adjust the charging thresholds on these machines.
The bottom of the screen of my laptop is flickering and its getting higher and higher Edit: I have tried every tips but still not working it might be the screen.
It definitely could be. Possible that the backlight or the backlight driver for the screen (the little motherboard hidden under the panel tape) is damaged/failing.
To think that a design flaw is responsible for this, Lenovo should hang their heads in shame. I have exactly the same problem except it's on an Ideapad.
Thanks, you saved me some time with the same issue I'm sure on my T430. By the way, you are very talented and not just your technical skills...you have the full package young man. Kudos to those responsible for your upbringing and keep going on your path, you're destined for the top.

Usually the flickering problem is caused by a damaged cable or connector between the cable and display or motherboard.

If you did all of that and are still experiencing flickering, it's most likely the cable.
May version is T410 lenovo thinkpad
Is the t440p good after what happened
If you don't mind the modern redesign compared to classic ThinkPads, it is a worthy successor to the T430.
If you were referring to the little trip it took around 8:55, yes it's fine.

Thanks so much for the info.
I've got a green line going down my left side ips screen, what is the problem please?
Damage or a defective panel. Could try replacing the cable first, if the problem persists it's an issue with the panel.
@@SebisRandomTech yes I think it is a panel because when I plug a VGA monitor in it, the picture was fine...I thought it was the integrated graphics... Could be the cable but think it's more likely the panel. Thankyou
Hey , I have a T460s which is a fairly new laptop . When I boot up this laptop all is see verticals lines , nothing else appears . I may have had a virus downloaded by mistake . Is there a fix to my issue ? Is this problem related to your problem or graphic card he gone bad ?
Just to let you know after virus was downloaded I was able to see like half screen clearly than it started loosing little by little and now all I see vertical lines , I can’t even boot the laptop into windows 10 ( installer OS ) . Any advise is nightly appreciated .
Try booting into Linux using a live USB stick and see if the problem persists.
What the name of that cable?
what metal is used for the plate under the keyboard and palmrest?
That is the magnesium-alloy "rollcage" that helps to protect the internal components from drop damage.
thanks men!
I have the same probleem but my laptop freeezz and i must restart it again.
mine was the same but badly injured
Nice video sir.. i am looking for information about ssd in this laptop.. can i instal m.2 ssd in wwan slot as my primary boot option drive along with hdd for my file storage? i am from indonesia and sorry if i use wrong english..^_^
Your English is fairly decent, better than some native speakers I know!
But yes, you can use an m.2 SSD as the boot drive. Just make sure it is a SATA drive and NOT an NVME drive, or it won’t work. Also make sure it is a 42MM drive and not a 60 or 80MM drive or it won’t fit.
@@SebisRandomTech thanks a lot sir for your reply.. i have just subscribe to your chanel..😊
have you ever used thinkpad x 240 model? i found information in this video last night: th-cam.com/video/g0U4aVKkD4I/w-d-xo.html
it was said thinkpad x240 model also has 16 gb ssd using as cache..
in this case should i keep installed my ssd as primary drive in wwan slot or replace that 16 gb cache ssd with the new one sir??
thanks sir.. i am going to use this laptop to do my school assignment such as graphic and simple video editing.. 😃
16 GB is almost useless even as a cache drive. Get a decent 128-256 GB SSD and save the 2.5” bay for a hard drive.
i am discouraged to ever get a lenovo again
Where can I get a display ribbon cable for a t440s?
eBay.
my lenovo g460 when turned on, white black red green blue loop only... please help me...
Lenovo Ideapad 2 in 1 14 😠 the flickering is real!! Too bad yours isn't exactly the same model
Ideapad is a hunk of shit
The problem was with the lcd cable right?
Yes.
Thanks
I have the same problem in my laptop
Can you try using a CPU that has Intel iris Pro graphics for the t440p
It is theoretically possible if you are a master at soldering. The only Haswell CPUs that had Iris Pro graphics are BGA (soldered on) chips. I saw something about that in the ThinkPad forums a while ago.
@@SebisRandomTech AHH I see they are readily available with the bga to PGA adapters on websites like taebou (I think it's that) would you recommend buying one?
@@ahmedrahi9775 I don't have any experience with those so I can't say whether or not to recommend them.
I own t460s.it does the same thing after 3 years of usage.also the pads on the back cracked and fell off one by one. It’s a good machine but the placement of that cable does not instill confidence to the brand.
In my opinion the T460s signaled the beginning of the end for well-designed ThinkPads, with the removal of the hot-swappable battery.
Sebi's Random Tech yeah the batteries .there are two inside, from different manufacturers and one of them gets always first discharged and than recharged so it goes through a lot more cycles and wear . On the other hand the other one also degrades by being used far less because it sits there at highest voltage at 100 percent much longer. In simple words 2 battery system is not optimized for charging.
@@ziwkovic6141 Well the charging system had originally been designed for one of the batteries being external, as had been the case on the T440s/T450s. So in that sense it made sense to have one (the external battery) discharge first. I truly think Lenovo had either originally planned for the T460s to continue having an external battery, or (most likely) did not want to redesign the motherboard or chassis to accommodate one larger internal battery, hence why the T460s uses 2 internal batteries.
@@SebisRandomTech Do you know if ThinkPads (or specifically the T460 or T460p) have the feature of keeping the battery only charged up to 50% or 80% to help preserve battery health when always plugged into the power outlet? Sony VAIOs had that power management feature and I recently saw a 2019 Dell Insperon with that feature.
@@YaotlIshbu You can configure those things in Lenovo's Vantage software that is installed on ThinkPads in Windows. Not sure if there are ways to control that in the BIOS but I know you can adjust the charging thresholds on these machines.
My laptop that can some help me pls
The bottom of the screen of my laptop is flickering and its getting higher and higher
Edit: I have tried every tips but still not working it might be the screen.
It definitely could be. Possible that the backlight or the backlight driver for the screen (the little motherboard hidden under the panel tape) is damaged/failing.
@@SebisRandomTech Thanks for the respond I am going to shit this laptop to work
@@SebisRandomTech Hey man Whats the thing that removes the sides of the screen?
@@bf-boyfriend7859 Are you talking about the plastic bezels that surround the screen?
@@SebisRandomTech Yes Sir
Have tto
SebiDropTips

still watching.. but that laptop back there.. is going to fall!!!!
Sebi?....you ROCK!.....LoL!
Yo

To think that a design flaw is responsible for this, Lenovo should hang their heads in shame. I have exactly the same problem except it's on an Ideapad.
I have the same issue on w540. Lenovo builds flawless computers. Bstds
unfortunately Lenovo had a major issue with many Thinkpad devices. they need to fire their engineers as this failure is on many models.
hahahah this video is so interesting and funny at the same time
lenovo laptops are the worst. My each and every friend had this issue and now I am also facing this issue only after 3 years of medium usage.
Plz hindi translet
