    Hi Howe,

    One possible reason why screen flickers is incompatible app. We suggest that you follow the troubleshooting steps provided on this link. If the problem persists, you may check if you have Hyper-V installed and turn it off. Here's how: 

    1. Select the search box in the taskbar, enter programs and features, and select Programs and Features.
    2. Select Turn Windows features on or off.
    3. Remove the check from Hyper-V and tap OK.
    4. Restart the Surface device.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Regards.

    I had already done this with help of Microsoft Surface Customer Care team but still it's getting same issue. I had reset surface also. Now i want to replace or repair this asap. Device is out-of-warrenty.

    Sorry to hear that, my unit (i5, 4Gb) have the same issue too even when plugged in. I've been searching around but not much has been reported of the same issue as us. Hopefully Microsoft do put up something definite for us users...
