I am using Toshiba Satellite M 70 notebook, purchased about more than one year back and really like it( Pentium M70, 512MB Ram, 40 GB HD). So far it has been without major issues.
The only problem now I face is that some times the screen flickers for a second or a fraction of second. It happens randomly, once or twice in a day and the flicker is more prmonant in lower part of screen . Seems a minor issue but it irritates me as I think it,s too early for a laptop to show such an issue and it might progress with time. What u think of it? Is it an issue with the graphics chip( it has Mobile Intel 915 GM), Motherboard or any other hardware? Does not seem to be a software issue to me.
BTW I have seen such flicker in two of the Acer latops with my friends but in their case it was more frequent and very prominant, especially on one of those Acers, all the screen will flicker and shake for a second/ or a fraction of a second, a very very unpleasant feeling.
My problem is that I can,t even show it to a tech as I don,t know how I can reproduce this flicker to show him, it happens randomly and infrequently.
Any ideas about this? Thanks
