My go-to resource for home repairs is doing a Google search for the exact brand & type of item plus “VIDEO.” In your case you might search “Amax (an example of brand name) under cabinet lights flickering VIDEO” A search inside the YouTube App may give you similar results, or not. I watch a few of the videos to decide if it’s something I think I can tackle.
If not, when I call a handyman at least I know what he’s supposed to be doing.
Another good resource for diagnosing the problem can be the manufacturers’ website. They usually have the original product info, warranty info & replacement parts with pictures of them.
If possible, I order the proper parts from Amazon or buy them ahead of time of the handyman’s service at Home Depot (where they can be returned if unused) Otherwise you’ll also pay labor while your handyman shops to get the parts.
I’ve been amazed how many home issues require more time & patience than skills, if you have a knowledgeable YouTuber to guide you through. Good Luck!
