    Hey, I have had my laptop since September and today all of the sudden the screen starts flickering and stops then two minutes later it does it again. It has not done it since. Should I take notice. (Its the light by the moniter that blinks)

    Thanks ahead of time.

    Does the screen turn completely off or does it go down a few notches of brightness when it flickers?

    Have you plugged in your notebook to the wall or was it on a powerbar/power surge?
