Re: Dell U3011 Rev. 03 Half Right Side Flickering After a Period of Time

good that you revive the post, i got a notification via email so i thought was a great idea and time to let every one know how i fix my issue.

re-flow is a pain in the but i will tell you that, either you have the proper equipment to do it or you don't, the middle ground is hard.
