The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    1. My docking station. The screen sometimes goes black for a second or two randomly. I have had this problem with all kinds of docking stations.

    2. My egpu dock. It works great but I have to plug it in after boot or it won’t be detected.

    3. My samsung galaxy S22 (my last sasmung phone). The camera sometimes doesn’t work presumably because a ribbon cable inside is loose.

        I have had the problem with a variety of cables. I think its a software issue. Wiggeling the cable does not cause any issues. The screen never looses signal its just briefly black.

        But I guess it can’t hurt to try more cables.

          This is why I switched to display port. It seems to work so much better. Also see if your dock is overheating. I’ve had that happen in the past and caused flickering issues.
