I am recently experiencing an intermittent flicker in the light when I use it between 20% to 40% intensity. If I raise it to 90% or 100%, or reduce it to 1-2%, the light seems to become stable. Could it be a sort of loose connection to LEDs or something?

I use good sleepcovers and the device has not experienced any physical shocks or drops recently. Apparently, there is no physical damage.

Due to problematic eyes I can not read from the device with more bright light. A 20 - 30% feels quite comfortable in the daytime, and 1 - 3% in a dark bedroom at night. But this new issue is keeping me annoyed with. Reading with flickering lights is driving me nuts.

Any suggestions please?
