That looks like a hardware issue. I haven’t seen anybody report this. Contact your seller and good luck.

Bad luck 🙁

Thank you

I’ve had this problem 3-4 times since the end of February.
Usual workaround is just to quickly press the power button to turn the screen off, then on, like Chris demonstrated in the video and go on with life.
Out of all problems I’ve had with this tablet, this one is the most harmless.

I’m not having that severe a problem, though it did flash a tiny bit of corruption at one point when it was running hot – I have a feeling it doesn’t manage heat brilliantly.

What I’m getting is more of a ‘shimmering / overall flickering’ effect.  It’s more pronounced in Android, but does exist in Windows – easiest way to show it is to bring up Paint and fill the window dark grey.

Wondering whether it can be fixed with a BIOS update – but I’m not sure how to do it.  I’m guessing it might involve getting a Type C USB OTG adaptor in order to attach a keyboard and navigate the existing BIOS.
