Q: Flickering or noise appears may appear the LCD display

A:

The LCD display on this notebook may flicker or the image may be fuzzy when viewing the LCD display at an angle.
Updating the BIOS to version 2.07 or later resolves a timing issue between the video chip on the motherboard and the LCD panel and reduces the likelihood of the LCD display flickering or the image being fuzzy.
