Frequent black-screen flicker / OLED or cable failure

Display panel / display flex cable (suspected)

Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra began black-screen flickers around One UI 8.5, sometimes with a horizontal gray line, roughly every 1–3 minutes even on the home screen. Case removal, brightness/RAM Plus/developer tweaks, and a factory reset did not fix it. Owner suspects ribbon-cable damage or OLED/video hardware failure.
