    Hey guys please forgive me if I should post this problem somewhere else, Im thinking I can get the best replys here, Ok here's my problem, I have a FW290, the screen is flickering like mad, after two days I have finally narrowed it down to one particular spot on the motherboard, its right where the HDD and charging LED lights are , couple of small chips there when touched the flickering goes on and off, there also seems to be a very small amount of faint whitish substance on these very small chips (not sure if thats normal), what can I do from this point, can I repair this, thanks a bunch.
