    Hello

    We have purchased a few T500 Thinkpads.
    Since we dont use Vista, we have made clean installs of Windows XP Pro.
    We experience a strange behaviour on them.
    If they have been running on batteries and we then plug the power cord in, the display kind of flickers - in this case meaning the screen moves 2-3cm to the left or right every few seconds.
    The solution is quite simple: switch resolution to something else, and then back to the native 1680x1050. However, it is annoying for the users.

    Has anybody else seen this issue?

    Thanx in advance, any help appreciated.
