    Hi everyone!

    I've been noticing that my screen flickers a little when the laptop isn't plugged in. I would say its more like the brightness goes up and down a little by itself..

    This only happens when I'm running off the battery. Hope its not the inverter playing funny.. :confused:

    Cheers for your input!

    There were reports of screen flicker when the brightness is on one of the lower settings. I don't know if this is normal for these panels or not

    Try bumping up the screen brightness to test this hypothesis
