Hello. I’ve had my Samsug Series 5 Chromebook for a couple months now and have been loving it. But lately a problem has cropped up. After about twenty minutes of use, the screen starts to occasionally flicker (going blank for half a second, then going back). It’s annoying, but no big deal. But if you use the chromebook for over an hour, it’ll start rapidly flickering. The screen goes black, then shows everything, goes black again, and continues to do this until you turn it off and start over. (the more times you do this, the less time it takes to get back to this assault on my eyes).
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, how did you fix it? I love using my Chromebook when I’m away from my work PC, but this renders it unusable for more than an hour a day. Any help would be appreciated.
I´m experiencing the same thing. Really annoying. Don´t really know what to do about it. Can´t find reports of this issue.
