Sorry, but I don't have very good news for you ...

In  terms of any cheap, simple fix -- probably not.

The screen flickering is a combination of the graphics chip failing and/or the screen failing -- and possibly both.

Replacing either is going to be very expensive, as it will require complete disassembly and reassembly of the laptop, in addition to the charges for the replacement hardware and labor.

Sorry, but this is just a self-help forum staffed mostly by volunteers and we are neither able, nor permitted, to provide any repair estimates.

For repair estimates, you would need to contact an HP Repair or Service Center.
If you live in the U.S., here is a link to the HP Service Repair Centers:

If you live outside the U.S., here is a link to HP Service Centers, by Country/Region: https://support.hp.com/in-en/service-center
Good Luck
