Hi @dreamchaser01,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I’m sorry to hear that your HP Notebook 15 is flickering.  there are several reasons why this could be happening. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue.

1. Check for loose hardware connections: Ensure that all the cables and wires connecting the screen to the motherboard are firmly in place.
2. Update your display driver: Visit the HP website and download the latest display driver for your laptop model.
3. Change the screen refresh rate: Adjust the refresh rate of your screen to see if that helps.
4. Adjust the resolution: Try changing the resolution of your screen to see if that helps.
5. Disable adaptive brightness: Turn off adaptive brightness in your laptop’s settings.
6. Turn off hardware acceleration: Disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings.
7. Troubleshoot software conflicts: Uninstall any recently installed software that could be causing the issue.
8. Use HP Support Assistant: Use HP Support Assistant to diagnose and fix the issue.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
