Well, this is really curious. I have the very same unit - TFT - and it displays the flicker described, but *only* on AC. Never on battery. I asked EasyServ to check out the brick the last time it went in and they said it was fine. It makes me suspect a loose connection somewhere. I've never had it do this with the battery. Charles S.

I was just thinking about this - does the machine get VERY hot when the battery charges? Maybe heat has a role in this problem. Also, are anyone's LCDs TFT, or all DSTN? -- Paul =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Paul Khoury pkhoury@loop.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Proudly using OS/2 Warp 3 & 4 The Operating System/2 Version is 4.00 Revision 9.029 There are 24 Processes with 85 Threads.
