Replacement LCD Panel (144Hz IPS)
Statistically, the Nitro 5 series suffers from a pattern failure where the 144Hz panel fails to maintain vertical synchronization. This is often a hardware degradation within the panel's internal T-CON board that manifests as persistent flickering or horizontal lines. Replacing the full LCD assembly is the only reliable resolution for high-refresh-rate instability.

EDP Video Cable
The internal display cable (EDP) is routed through the laptop's friction hinge. Over time, the repeated mechanical stress of opening and closing the lid causes micro-fractures in the copper shielding or wiring, leading to intermittent signal loss and flickering. A new, shielded cable restores the digital signal path between the motherboard and the display.

High-Performance Thermal Paste
If flickering is accompanied by artifacts during gaming, it indicates the NVIDIA GPU or VRAM is overheating. The factory thermal pads and paste on the Nitro 5 often dry out, causing thermal throttling and 'noise' on the display output. Re-pasting the GPU and CPU ensures the silicon remains within stable operating temperatures to prevent visual glitches.
