I've faced with flickering twice, both after rendering video in hot summer. The first device was exchanged using warranty, the second lasts for 4 years.
The only way to fix flickering - replacing display. The main flickering reason is overheating that caused by dust in cooler. It should be cleaned once a year at least. Use external cooling when run hard tasks like video rendering.
There is a way to install Surface pro 5 display that doesn't suffer flickering at all.

Я сталкивался с проблемой мерцания дважды. Оба раза после рендеринга видео во время жаркого лета. Первый раз удалось заменить планшет по гарантии. Второй раз случился через 4 года, когда я опять стал рендерить видео.
Единственный способ ремонта - замена дисплея. Причина этого безобразия - перегрев, возникающий в том числе из-за забивки лопастей вентилятора пылью. Стоит чистить хотя бы раз в год. Пользуйтесь внешним охлаждением при выполнении тяжелых задач типа рендеринга.
Есть вариант установки дисплея от 5 версии планшета (чуть дороже), который не страдает такой проблемой даже после перегрева. Нужен лишь переходник, всё остальное также.

I fixed the issue by making the fan work on active . You have to set the fan active in advance power options and further in processor power settings. In that there is an option. If the option is not there then install it by checking it on internet. Once the fan starts at full speed then it cooles down the screen and the flickering stops. Its mainly due to overheating
How does one go into advanced power options because I can't find it
@@mr_loza0733 Me too..
Ye i have the same problem but its just way stronger, idk how to fix it. Ill try out your tip.
@@liduardo Where can i find it?
@@toughnut9734 Didn't find the option that he said, I think is not real... The option does not exist for a surface.
this issue annoyed so much that i will never buy another microsoft device.
Dude, same. I feel you bro
@@Sam-wc6im ??? 1 broken product and EVERYTHING they make is bad? seriously?
same here! this is the last microsoft product I'm getting. Apple is still the best in terms of warranty replacement. Microsoft is a crap!
same my screen suddenly becames 2 and goes up to 10 just because of 1 tiny crack like what thats it 1 tiny crack can make a frikkin big screen broke like crazy even my apple ipad mini 2 but atleast my ipad still functions perfectly
@@Emerson-wj9kr I saved for months just to buy that surface pro 4 ($1200). And boom I can't use it for more than 30mins. Ah no, that's bs. Never again.
Just wanted to thank you for this excellent guide. I followed your instructions carefully and just replaced my screen without a problem. Can I buy you a beer?
Great! One more life for this tablet.😁 paypal.me/KonstantinSachkov
@@KonstantinSachkov Sent to you now. Thanks again.
Hi
I have that same problem. Firstly, thank you . I have a question, my screen change is ok, but is it necessary to change the Connection Board?
Why did you change the display ?🤗🙏🧐
No. I won't be doing any of this.
Thanks for the repair, but I'd rather take a hammer to my device than try and do this. I'm no where near steady enough to even begin this process.
That was my only fix for this expensive paper weight POS! solved all my migraines 👍
@@suhtangwong It is shocking. I know 4 people (including me) who have the SP4. I had the i7, 2 had the 95 and one had the Celeron version. All the I5's and I7's got this screen distortion after about 3 years. None of them could get it fixed without paying around 40% of the cost of a new device.
We all vowed never to get another. Given how eye wateringly expensive they were/are their ability to deal with heat in the chassis. Relying on a two dollar fan that you need to rip your device apart to replace - is shocking
Hi! How's the replacement screen quality compared to the original Surface Pro 4 screen?
The same
my screen on pro4 is flickering but i dont experience any overheating...what do you think ?
This problem may occur with a small temperature.
@@KonstantinSachkov thanks for your reply. So basically only long term solution is to change the screen ,correct?
you are a great helpful and useful man. thank you to sharing your experience in detail
well it had nothing to do with heating coz i checked the temps with hw monitor and they are normal. its something else
Yep my one does this at room temp
It's when the screen gets heated up the first time around. It will continue to flicker after that. I found that replacing the screen with a surface pro 5 screen stopped the flickering. I didn't do it myself, I had people who were skilled at fixing laptops do it.
Does it matter if you use the black or original black? On that SP5 replacement screen? Which one did you end up getting?
I don't know. I got black Sp4, but that time I didn't know about sp5 screen installation.
Nice video. I attempted the same but ran into a strange issue. The touchscreen function does not work. Replaced the touch board still does not work. Replaced the screen - still does not work. Have updated and reset the device multiple times. Not sure how to resolve the issue. Device is not very handy unless the touch function is working. Any thoughts?
this is a known ms issue they crippled the touch on many surface 4 pro , via software update
Sounds like mother board chip issue

Hi. Do you have a battery drain issue when you shutdown your SP4? I tried unchecking fastboot and did a manual shutdown through the command prompt: shutdown /s /f /t 0 and still the same draining about 10% a day. Have you encounter and found a fix for this? My battery looks ok at 93% capacity from design.
Hi. I don't have such problem. You can put a paper between the battery pins and the PCB for a day and check if it's PCB or battery problem. Try using ir imager to find defective component on PCB.
I have the same battery drain issue. If you got a solution kindly share. Thank you.
@@jeffonkundi8624 For me the solution was downgrading the Firmware of the surface, this help me to solve a problem with undervolting my CPU and the battery drain
@@khadaakma how did you go about it?
Do you have to replace the screen when you clean the fan and put lubricating gel on the CPU?
BTW: I bought this for my niece...I should have bought an Apple, like all our other lappies. Never had problem with them.
If you don't have problems, better don't open it. Ipad and surface are completely different devices.
@@KonstantinSachkov
Yes, the Surface Pro 4 does have the flickering issue. Been going on for about a month now. Starts happening after 5 hours use. Put a fan on it, and it takes about 7 hours for the flickering to start.
Can you tell me where does it come from the flickering ? Got 2 anothers screen but still have it :( thanks
Also just wondering, instead of cleaning the dust off.. would it make sense to just a new whole fan assembly under part #nd55c06. I mean it had it's better days and since it's not working as good in dissipating heat, maybe other components you can't get too either gets clogged or worn out. This also reminds me since this needs maintenance, maybe not put so much tape on the glass screen when reinstalling for easy access down the road?
There's no any sense replacing the fan. It's ok for this tablet. I don't replace adhesive tape, so second (and third, fourth, etc) disassembling was easy.
hai, you mentioned that dust in cooler causes to create heat, then the screen starts flickering. may I know what if I remove the dust in cooler and use the same screen? could you please explain why we need to replace the screen? even if we remove the dust.
The screen has broken at time 2:45 . that is why I think.
Is it a problem with the screen or is it the cooling that's the problem. And if it is the cooling can I use back the old screen and will it work good?
You need a new screen, but after cleaning in might be working for some time with old one.
What are you putting on the tablet with that syringe I didn’t see you replace the ribbon, is it necessary?
Alcohol. I didn't replace the ribbon to make the next disassembling easier.
In my case the thermal paste reiplacements on processor helps.
Agreed, my screen is off right now, the fan can breath freely. I think replacing the paste with some good Artic Silver will help more than dusting off those tiny blades.
@@AK7Woody I was wrong helps but not for long. It steal flicking but after longer use or in hot days.
Pictures are worth a thousands words, but words can still be very useful.
first I bought surface pro 3 and got it bricked due to software update , and now I got flicker in my SF pro 4, everytime I buy something Microsoft I have to finish what the engineers started. The screen of SF pro 4 does not handle heat and the machine's fan is underpowered, not a point to replace a new screen belonging to other than SF pro 5 that does not have this issue
I just roll back video driver to 2006 and it works as usual laptops without tablet mode, even stops heating up
did it ever flicker again after doing this?
If you install surface 5 display, it wouldn't flicker again.
Just to confirm, the video does not show you adding the replacement cable (M1010537-003) for the new screen, correct? The existing / old screen cable wont work with the new surface 5 screen, right?
ua-cam.com/video/z7mZJUAOYHg/v-deo.html
i noticed this to my surface pro once its been open for quite sometime it will have this problem.
Do u think this is recommended just following ur steps?
Btw Surface pro 5 screen compatible w/ surface 4?
This problem is caused by defective panels. To install surface 5 display you'd buy a new connection cable. Look at description.
@@KonstantinSachkov thanks alot ! btw does this type of replacement LCD usually last long interm or its prone for issue again?
@@leenorris2500 surface 5 LCD doesn't have any kind of defects so it should work for a long time.
I just bought a new panel and I'm encountering this issue... Don't think a new panel is going to resolve the issue. On mine it starts to get blurry if there's no activity on the screen
Hi, I have a surface pro 4, when I attached new LCD to change display I can not see any image. I tried two different LCD/cables but ever black screen. If I use external monitor I can see window working properly but on device manager there is not the LCD device. Any suggestions about the reason? Corrupted bios, hardware lcd mainboard connector ..any think that I could try?
I'd check the connector.
@@KonstantinSachkov thanks for answer, but how I could check the connector? I tried with different cable / display same result
@@mtest688 use magnifier or microscope
@@KonstantinSachkov thanks again, apparently all pins are ok
@@mtest688 what about original lcd? What happened with it? Did you check it?
Does anyone know if the issue is permanent once it starts flickering? Or could it be solved by preventing future overheating? Like is it broken for good once it starts? I´ve had the issue for about 3 weeks now and its definitely getting worse.
I added a fan to mine externally. The i5 and i7 have a fan inside which is almost impossible to get to and 50% of the time you'll destroy the screen even trying. But if that fan stops working you'll get the green flickering screen. The good news is fitting an external fan near the top left (which if you feel is the hottest part of the device) works really well. Make sure you are sucking the hot air out and not pushing it back in (many fans have an arrow) I bought a multi USB port with 5 ports. Stuck the fan in one, then attached it to the case with a clip. The fan had a flexible next so it sit right behind and slightly behind the power button and the volume rocker on the top left of the case. Fan cost £12 from amazon. I already had a clip. The USB extender is essential for on e of these anyway as connectivity on them is really bad without one.
Good luck :)
@@PaulRoneClarke thanks a lot. Funny things is, I only really have issues when on video calls, so since lockdowns have ended, I've been using it as my main office device again.
@@PaulRoneClarkeyours overheat on top left under power button? Mines opposite, top right, I've seen most people overheats on top right top. I think it's a overheating chip issue that causes the screen to flicker.

Hello sir surface pro 4 schematic available
Two questions, please answer:
1) May I use 99,5% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) instead of ethanol?
2) Do you really think, that using alcohol as a separator is better than heating screen? Does not alcohol harm the screen?
Thanks
1. Yes
2. It's better to use both alcohol and heat at the same time. If you didn't submerged tablet into alcohol, it shouldn't harm the screen 😁. Use a little bit
@@KonstantinSachkov Many thanks for your answers and perfect tuorial. Stay healthy!
Здраствуйте ,имею вопрос , а что именно сломалось , дисплей , шлейф , граф проц ?
Nice Work Men ! But which LCD Cable did you use ?
Surface 4 LCD and original cable
Konstantin Sachkov Thanks alot Mate !
Btw... How many People say its the overheating GPU, just how..... After 2 Days i was 1000% Sure this issue isnt a GPU fail! I Heat up the whole Board with my Quick 861 and you Know what, NO FLICKERING ! So this Problem cant make much Heat on GPU.... the fukcing internet is full of this TrashTalk „GPU issue/Bad GPU“.... Thanks for this Video Btw 👏
@@bastianbuchs9743 btw there's no separate GPU in Surface 😃 Just CPU
Konstantin Sachkov My i7 16GB Ram have an Intel 520 GPU 🧐 Its a separate GPU Chip on the CPU FlipChip. You See in your Video alot of free Space on the CPU FlipChip, On this Space is my GPU. So i have 3 Chips Solderd instead of 2.
And the Surface in this Video have aswell a GPU Chip 😅 its the left little one... CPU is the Big Chip 😅
Не используй кпт8 никогда пожалуйста. Используй arctic cooling mx-2 хотябы
Я заказал от SP5. Говорят там нету проблем с умирающим контроллером. Но пока не менял. Не хочу брать экран от sp4 который проработает и умрет из-за контроллера.

Привет. Если поменять на екран с Алиекспрес для surface pro 4? Он будет работать корректно? Я спрашиваю потому что если отдать ноутбук на ремонт то они скорее всего поставят дешёвый екран с Алиекспресс... вопрос остаётся ли актуальным ремонт ?? Спасибо.
Все дисплеи, я считаю, оригинальные, восстановленные. Дешёвых нет, все стоят примерно одинаково, разве что у нас с большой наценкой могут продавать. Есть смысл ставить экран от surface 5, надо докупить шлейф, у них цветопередача лучше и такой проблемы выхода из строя нет.
@@KonstantinSachkov ну на алиекспрес стекло стоит 30-50 евро, а в ремонт центре говорят стекло стоит 250 евро плюс работа.... в Майкровсофт только за то чтоб посмотреть что с компьютером хотят 600 евро..... безпредел.
Было бы забавно посмотреть на взгляд чувака, который отклеил экран и, увидев начинку, вспомнил, что у него версия без активного охлаждения...
это как раз про меня на моем m3 процессоре. и как мне убрать мерцания???

Fixed? Didnt you just replace the screen with a new one?
Yes, but not replacing the tablet.
The new screen is a refurbished one that doesn't have the design flaw, so it will stop the flickering.
Could I replace it with the Surface Pro X screen instead?
I have read that the Pro 5 should be compatible, but a connector cable has to be changed.

Get one of those iPhone screen removal suction cups
If you are replacing the screen. I wont be too concern about heat gun or salvaging the glass screen. It will be garage when you pull it out. However, to help, yea, suction cups and maybe either those plastic triangles to replace cellphone screens or get your credit card.
Проблема мерцания ето екран, т.к. после замены екрана таблет больше не мерцает и чистка кулера не производилась. Новые (refurbished) таблеты Pro 4 идут с новым екраном (такой как в Pro 5/6). Возможно проблема с перегревом платы екрана а не самого девайса.
так он плату же оставил, надо смотреть внимательнее

Привет, у меня схожая проблема, но обязательно мне менять экран если он целый и без проблем ? Просто у меня всегда экран бликует и дрожит как будто.
В 99% случаев это аппаратная проблема в экране. Решается только его заменой. Лучше оставить как есть, если сильно не мешает.
Она у меня больше чем 70% экрана как бы мешает
Просто у меня другая схема если планшет нагреется то это исчезнет. И он работает нормально

Received my faulty device .
After 30days of waiting updates they are 'OUT OF STOCK' and keep waiting.

Лайфхак хороший, но сама я это точно делать не буду 😂
данный способ может помочь только отчасти,если у вас данная проблема ,могу только поздравить!)
аппарат однозначно бракованный.
вернее брак процессора со встроенным видеоадаптером.
при длительной работе проблема повторится ,спустя 1,5-2 часа работы ,даже после чистки куллера и замены термопасты.
рекомендую проверить сроки гарантии, и заявить о неисправности!
Не процессора, а дисплея, замена дисплея решает проблему.

Hello there, I always wanted to contact them because I want to fix my device, would you be able to share on how to proceed. Thanks in advance :)
They will not replace the unit. I recently bought the Surface Pro 4 second hand, and they refused to replace the laptop because the warranty expired a year ago. So the best course of action to solve this "unfixable" problem is to send it to a person who knows how to install a surface screen. What microsoft will not tell us is that the defect comes from the screen being overheated, meaning that the screen will begin to malfunction if put on a hot temp. Just replace the screen with the surface pro 5, you will never have to deal with this issue again.
Is that when you change the screen of the pro 4 surface the flickering problem disappears
