    Flickering LCD Screen

    So I've been having this problem with my notebook screen, it keeps flickering, from bright to dim and back again. I had installed the "hacked" Cat 4.5 drivers, and thought it was from that, so I reinstalled the new ATI/HP compatible drivers, fairly new actually. It kept doing it anyways. The refresh is at 60 Hz, the only mode for it. Should I take it in? It's over a year old.

    Yes, I think you should RMA it.

      My laptop only does that if it's cold. The flickering goes away after it warms up.
      P.S. You've been Spanked!

        sounds like the EL panel high voltage driver circuit is going south.

          Something wrong with the inverter for the ccfl bulb. It still in warranty?

            I think I still have the super duper extended warranty, so I'll take it in. And it does just the opposite schmosef, it only does it after I have the screen up and running for about 15-20 minutes, then it starts going in and out.
