    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had problems with this model. This laptop screen wiil flicker and sometimes go black and the screen wont come back on unless you plug the unit back in also starts making low humming noise when this happens and also black spots in screen . There are also other things this does that im not sure are related when playing video and you plugin or unplug laptop and there is long delay and it makes fast ticking noice. I got this back from warranty depot yesterday and they said they fixed the transformation and lighting and then tested fine. they had it for a week and came back with same problem so it is going back. I was wondering if it comes back after another week with same problem if anyone here has delt with lenovo warranty and how hard it is to get lenovo to replace the system Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Wow, edit your text so it isnt so hard on the eyes :D

    Well, I had problems with my R400 and it since it had known build quality problem (another forum members laptop had the same problem as mine and he got his machine replaced too, long before I bought my laptop) Lenovo attempted to repair it only once after which they offered replacement straight away without problems. It took quite long to receive replacement, but thats another story.

    PS. Reason why my R400 was replaced was squeeking and moving right palmrest corner together with HDD cover on the right corner that couldnt be replaced.
