The bottom line of my asus laptop is flickering. I am not able to figure out the issue.

If its in warranty take it to a service center to get it sorted out. Else you might have a bust display that needs replacement.

It is 4 years old. I am hoping for a software issue.

Does it change if you change the inclination of the display? Thing is after extensive use, most of the laptops start developing such small issues after 3-4 years.

Looks like the CFL backlight is dying.

The principle is the same as the tube lights in our houses flicker before dying or when the choke is dying.

No. But it is visible only on static screen. Doesn't bother during gaming.
And only bottom line flickers not the whole screen.

First of all, you need to contact service center of ASUS laptop and Change the display screen guard.

Yes, this is so much helpful. A friend of mine upgraded his laptop's screen from 720p to 4k this way.


Sarcasm intended.
I don't think shanmorkel1685 even knows what problem the original post refers to.

The cost of replacement + repair goes around 6k. Already spend 7k+ before on laptop. Any alternative besides using an external monitor.
