Screen keeps failing with black screen and flashing at the bottom and top for about 30 seconds

[DarranDraper]

Hi 

I have an HP Spectre x360 13-aw2024na (2G2C2EA#ABU) that I purchased in November. It has started to have an intermittent video/screen failure.  The screen goes black with a flashing area at the top and bottom of the screen for about 30 seconds.

I have updated the drivers, but still, have the challenge.

It there a software solution of does it need a repair?

Thanks

Hi@DarranDraper, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand the screen on your HP Spectre x360 flickers repeatedly,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

What HDMI connection are you referring to? is that an external monitor?

And is it the flickering on your laptop that stops or the monitor that doesn't have the flickering issue?

While you respond to that, here're a few things you need to do:

Please reduce or change the screen refresh rate to identify a difference:

1. Right-click the desktop and click Display settings.

2. Under Customize your display, at the bottom, click Advanced display settings.

3. Under Related Settings, click Display adapter properties.

4. Select the Monitor tab.

5. Under Screen refresh rate, select another refresh rate if available.

6. Click OK to save the changes.

If the issue persists, please follow the steps suggested on this link: http://hp.care/2sQmwBR

Hi 

Thanks for the support.

I do not have HDMI the challenge is with the main laptop screen.  it is more a screen failure than a flicker.

It randomly goes blank with a thin line top and bottom flickering.  it comes back on after about 30 seconds or I have found I can recover it by pressing the right button on the touchpad.  I have a video that can better show the issue.

I have not tries extended use with an external monitor to test it.

Any thoughts?
