Amazon Echo Show Screen Flickering [Fixed]

There are several ways to fix the screen flickering issue on your Amazon Echo Show, and below we have discussed some effective troubleshooting steps:

1. Restart The Device

When the Amazon Echo Show device’s screen is flickering, the first thing you can do is restart the Echo Show device. This can be one of the most effective ways to fix minor glitches, as it will refresh the device’s system and restore stable display functionality.

All you need to do is unplug the power adapter from the device or the outlet. Wait for about 3 minutes. Finally, plug the power adapter back into the device or outlet.

2. Check The Power Adapter And Outlet

A faulty power adapter or an unstable power supply is highly likely to cause your Echo Show’s screen to flicker. Ensure the power adapter is working as well as the main power outlet.

Use the original power adapter that came with the Echo Show to connect the device, as connecting to a third-party adapter may lead to flickering issues.

Also, plug it into a different wall outlet and check if that works for you. Inspect for visible signs of damage in the power cord and replace if required.

3. Check For Software Updates

Outdated or buggy software versions sometimes cause your Echo Show’s screen to flicker. So, it is always advisable to update the software regularly so that the device runs on optimized firmware.

To update the software using Alexa, follow these steps:

You can simply say, “Alexa, check for software updates.” Alternatively, say “Go to settings,” or swipe down from the top of the screen.
Select Settings, followed by Device Options.
Select Check for Software Updates to check for and install software updates.

4. Factory Reset The Device

Resetting your Echo Show device can help you deal with the screen flickering issue, as it will ensure a fresh start for optimal functionality.

To reset the device, here’s what you need to do:

Press and hold the Mute button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for about 15 seconds until the Amazon logo appears.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your device again.

If none of the methods work, contact Amazon Support for further assistance.
