Hi
I've had a few troubles with my couple of months old Samsung NP700Z3AS06US.
Today I started the laptop from hibernation and my screen flickered with a very interesting rainbow of colors. You can see what it looked like in this video: Samsung NP700Z3AS06US - YouTube
The laptop was only running light applications before hibernation (Chrome browser only) and if I remember correctly, I manually put it in hibernation due to low battery. The laptop was plugged in when started again and first prompted that battery was low and asked me to make sure it was plugged in to continue.
I've had similar flickering screens a few times with it. Can't remember all of the circumstances, but might all have been after hibernation. Sometimes the screen has been legible and I've been able to manually restart.
I'm also having trouble with OpenGL games not running. But I think the screen issue predates the OpenGL problem.
On a side note, my wifi is also working up. Wifi has worked great for the past couple of months until suddenly the laptops range has radically decreased. It actually fluctuates, but I often can't get a connection if I'm in a different room than my router. This was not a problem before. Other pcs have no trouble so it's not the router. I updated the Intel Centrino Advanced N6230's drivers to 15.1.1.1 and thought it was fixed but soon had the same trouble. I've seen some threads about low wifi range, but none that talk of such fluctuations.
Would love to hear if anybody has some ideas?
