Sounds like a variant of my issue, do you know if your screen uses PWM to manage brightness ? If it uses PWM, you might have a faulty backlight, otherwise it could be the inverter supplying inadequate current or voltage beyond 23%.
So apparently the inverter supplying power to the screen's backlight is dying, and it won't get better - and I also cannot fix this on my own. Time for warranty call.
Note: more testing shows it seems to vary with temperature. The hotter the laptop, the lower the flashing threshold. Right now it is 14 and above that triggers flashing. When running hot it goes down to 8 or 9 or 10.
Starting yesterday, the screen on my Recoil II 17" flashes on and off if I set its brightness anywhere above 8%. If set to 9% it flashes every second, and faster (4 times per second) if the brightness is set higher. The brightness does adjust along, but it also flashes on and off, and it is very...
Since I was getting systematic nvidia driver crash and bluescreens with code VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR every time I would open the map in Skyrim SE, I figured I'd replace the default drivers my laptop shipped with, with the latest 419.35 drivers from nVidia. Except now the RTX 2070 in my Recoil...
