[SOLVED] screen turns on and off three times before boot.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64<br>
Host: 81Y3 IdeaPad L3 15IML05<br>
Kernel: 6.8.1-arch1-1

~ λ  lsblk
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sr0          11:0    1  1024M  0 rom
nvme0n1     259:0    0 476.9G  0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0     2G  0 part /boot
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0    12G  0 part [SWAP]
├─nvme0n1p3 259:3    0   100G  0 part /
└─nvme0n1p4 259:4    0 362.9G  0 part /home

I have updated the UEFI to the latest version

"EJCN31WW"

Information about the EFI partition:

File System: fat32
Flags: boot, esp

Grub configuration file:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true

I have tried missing with the UEFI settings, but with no success.<br>
I have noticed that if i entered the boot menu and selected grub the first time it turns on, it will boot grub right away.

So, what I think that it could be caused by (I'm probably wrong XD):
1. The EFI partition is too large (2Gb).
2. The EFI partition doesn't have the right format.
3. It tries to boot grub, but it fails.

I can't think of a solution. Plz share your thoughts.
And Thanks.

This issue was solved by enabling legacy boot in the uefi boot section, and then choosing UEFI First
