Update!Disabling the Nvidia driver has significantly improved battery longevity, and the laptop was very cool; however, the flickering was back and worse. I decided to open the back of the laptop and see if there was a problem with the wiring; I disconnected the screen's cable from the motherboard and noticed that one of the prongs from the cable was out of place. Which I found to be strange since I have never removed the screen cable. I brushed the prong back to its place and connected it to the motherboard which was as success, my screen is back to normal.
Hi everyone,   I have the Dell XPS 9560 since 2017 and this laptop is a machine, it's performing well for my everyday use, however, the screen flickering issue has been quite bothersome. I've been reluctant to get a new laptop as this one should easily live for more than 5 years but I'm at my wits end with Dell and their lack of support for software and hardware issues. The screen has been flickering for almost two years now, I spent countless hours trying to find the root cause but to no avail. I religiously download the graphics update for intel and nvidia but it doesn't seem to be fixing the problem. Sometimes the screen flickering is low key and doesn't happen but it has come back to full force rendering the laptop useless. Here is a link from today's screen flickering, I believe this is the worst that it has gotten: [URL] I see posts from across the years specifically for this issue but none of the fixes really worked for me. Can someone help please? Why did I pay $3k + for this piece of junk? 🥲
