Lenovo T560 intermittent screen flickering....?

[Randall Shimizu]

I am experiencing intermittent screen flickering issues on my Lenovo T569 laptop.....? The odd thing is that the problem is acting like both a hardware and software issue.....? Every once in awhile the mouse pointer will go away and screen will flicker until I reboot the laptop.I am fairly certain somethng is loose because when I shake the laptop the video will flicker as well. The odd thing thing is that this does not happen all the time...? Already tried reloading the drivers and this has not resolved the problems...? Also noticed that the screen flickers during the boot process so makes me think it is hardware related.

I have a touch display and the screen is very expensive. So can I use a non touch display..? I am fairly certain the video card is built into the motherboard. I am also thinking of using a higher resolution screen can I use that one instead....?

Mouse pointer disappearing is odd. A cable fault or a faulty screen
won't be responsible for that.

Connect an external monitor and see if the same happens.

Also boot a liveCD (ubuntu) and check likewise.

I fear your issues are on the mainboard :-(
