    Hello all

    I bought P200-1i6 ... i have it like 3 months now ... and i noticed a strange display problem or graphic card not sure.While i work on the laptop display starts to change brightness ... but after that starts to flicker from black to picture and at last screen becomes garbled ... like with lines and cubes.Everything i can do in that moment is restart my computer screen will be fine for a while .. but when i try to restart vista computer locks and i need it to shut down from the power button.When vista starts display is fine again.Funny thing is that when display starts to change brightness if i plug out the power from the laptop,screen becomes garbled immediately with lines and cubes.

    Any solution to this ... I was reading that others had this issue ... i am dissapointed since i trusted Toshiba as very reliable notebook company.

    Regards

    since it is still under warranty, why not just return it and let them handle it?
