    Are you trying to say that your LED is flickering, or that your laptop is physically vibrating? I'm assuming it's the latter, that the vibrations are only manifest in your display assembly, and in which case the obvious culprit would be your HDD.

    Some HDDs just seem to vibrate more than others. You can do your research and find something that doesn't have a vibrating track record, or complain to Dell and see if they're replace it (though that'll be a crapshot, really; you may end up with the same drive).

    I would say check the cable connection on the lcd screen and to the motherboard and check to make sure the hinge isnt doin some kind of damage to the cable.

    But all that means taking the laptop apart and will void your warranty.

    If you still have a warranty use it and call Dell.

    Ok, now we're talking. Is it flickering at all levels of brightness, or just the lowest couple of settings? Are you using florescent lighting?

    In the case of flickering at all brightness levels, you might actually have a problem. I do believe that florescent lighting, because it does flicker at a frequency imperceptible to most human eyes, can cause interference between your display's 60Hz refresh rate and what you end up seeing, but I dunno how true this actually is in practice...

    In the case of flickering at the lowest brightness levels... it's a known problem. I don't know what you can do to fix it besides turning up the brightness a notch or two.

    thank you for help me :)

    I tarnslate your all sentence except two sentence:
    but I dunno how true this actually is in practice...
    I don't know what you can do to fix it besides turning up the brightness a notch or two

    I have flickering at the lowest brightness levels (only 40-60 % of brightness)
    and while turn off florescent lighting , flickering is less :p but while exist problem still

    Well, from your response, I think you understand the general gist of what I'm getting at :)

    Does the flickering continue all the way up to 100% brightness? It really shouldn't be there at 60% or even 40%, but if you have really sensitive eyes, it might not be a problem with the display itself.

    If you're under warranty, and you have flickering throughput the entire brightness spectrum, I'd call Dell and have 'em replace your screen. It might be something simple like a disconnected cable, but if you've got warranty, why risk anything?
