Any fixes for this yet? I have started to experience this in the last few days for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The only change was that the laptop battery was replaced. However, this problem does not occur on my dual- boot Windows 10, so this is probably not a hardware issue.

The physical connections are clean and solid. I guess the attachments will show that I'm using Intel graphics hardware. The monitor is a very popular Samsung one.
