    Hello all

    i just noticed that when my battery begins to get lower(21%) that when i move the mouse around on the screen it begins to flicker alot, with the flicker being similer to that of the consistency of a strobe light. Can anyone tell me whats going on here? cause it did not use to do this, and the computer is already slated to go into dell for a new motherboard so that all the usb ports will work correctly. I just want to see that if i need things replaced i do it all at once!

    thanks superpeople!

    Does it have the latest system BIOS? That fixes a lot of weird battery and display issues.
