    hi guys...

    dont know about u but i'm getting serious flickering on my external monitor...

    i've seen in other forums ppl have the same issues... (with different notebooks_

    happens when the power is plugged in...

    if i run off the batt the flicker goes away...

    looks like a power leak issue

    anyone experienced the same thing/have a solution??

    Oro?
    Yes, you should make sure both the laptop and the LCD are Grounded properly.
    Apart form flickering, this might cause serious damage to your laptop.
