Why is the car's center control screen flickering?

The flickering of the dashboard screen light is usually caused by poor contact, and further inspection is recommended. However, it could also be due to system issues. Here is some relevant information about the dashboard: Concept: The dashboard can come with external lighting and may be attached to a control console. It comes in various forms and specifications, allowing for the installation of different instruments as needed. Various dashboards can also be combined into a single unit as required. Flight Instruments: Typically, a flight instrument panel is equipped with six basic instruments: the airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, turn coordinator, heading indicator, and vertical speed indicator.
I've encountered the issue of the center console screen flickering a few times, mainly due to loose connection cables or hardware failure of the screen itself. Sometimes the wiring connectors get shaken loose on bumpy roads, so try reinserting them firmly; it could also be screen aging or mold, especially after prolonged exposure to high temperatures. It's recommended to first power off and restart the system to see if the flickering stops. If it persists, check the cable connections, but avoid disassembling too deeply to prevent damage to the car. Additionally, unstable voltage may also trigger this problem, such as when the battery is aging and can't supply sufficient power. Don't panic if it happens; the most reliable solution is to promptly visit a 4S shop for professional diagnostic tools.
The flickering of the central control screen while driving can be quite distracting, and there could be several reasons for this. Software conflicts are common, especially after installing new apps or incomplete system updates. I recommend first trying to restart the vehicle's infotainment system by holding the power button for 10 seconds to reset, or disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery for a minute before reconnecting. If that doesn't work, it might be due to loose internal wiring of the display, which is more likely to happen in the summer heat. Another possibility is that too many onboard electrical devices are drawing excessive power, causing the screen to malfunction—try turning off unnecessary devices. Regular system maintenance and updates can help prevent this issue. If the flickering is severe, don't delay; it's safer to have it checked by a repair shop.
As someone with an electronics background, I believe that flickering in the central control screen is usually caused by issues with the display control module, such as damaged internal capacitors or poor contact. Try touching the back of the screen to see if it's abnormally hot, as overheating can accelerate failures. If the touchscreen is unresponsive along with flickering, it might require a firmware update or checking if the input signal cable is functioning properly. Voltage fluctuations could also be the culprit—use a multimeter to check if the power supply voltage is stable. For simple fixes, you can try unplugging and replugging the relevant connectors yourself, but avoid attempting complex repairs. The key to prevention lies in regularly updating the software and avoiding extreme temperature shocks to the screen components.
