z3 tablet screen flashing

The last few days the screen has been flashing like crazy, whatever is on the screen flashes/glitches all over the place, at first I thought it was glitching when the screen was idle/nothing moving but it seems to be getting worse to the point it's now constant and I can barely see what I'm doing. The tablet doesn't feel hot. not sure if it's a faulty graphics chip or what. Any ideas?

Try repairing it with Sony PC Companion and check if that helps.

Hi alexajx,

Welcome to the community,

I suggest booting the device in to Safemode to see if the issue continues, this will let us know if this is software related.

Thanks for the replies. I tried booting into safe mode and the screen still flashes Slightly_frowning_Face I haven't factory reset yet but that will have to wait until I can backup my data and I'll try the pc companion then but I'm starting to think the screen is burning out or something. It's so annoying I love the tablet but its unusable right now with the screen glitching and flickering all over the place Slightly_frowning_Face

Hello. To me happens after 2 minutes that restart, it remains so for 30 seconds and then no longer happens. (Sorry for my english)
