So I have recently experienced an issue (3 times already) where the screen randomly starts to flicker and show what you can see in the image thats attached. Its happening suddenly and without any movement in the moment where it happens. So I am just typing without moving the laptop and suddenly it happens. It fixes itself after a while. Is this a loose cable or something more serious

My guess is that it is a hardware problem with the display panel.  
I would contact FW support via their web page form.  
That pattern does not look like something a bad cable would cause.

I’m having the exact same issue, did you find a solution?

In my experience, my laptop arrived with an improperly seated display cable on the motherboard side. I would open the top case and check.
