Hi,

Anyone notice the screen flash on the 700m. Mine occasionally flashes black for a fraction of a second.

Cound it be when the battery is fully charged and it switches to power?

Cheers Chook

I've owned three 700m's and none of them did that as far as I can tell. Just exactly when does that happen? The only problem i'm having is with the light leakage which I've forced myself to get used to since I don't want to go through another exchange.

Thanks csware,

Sometime between when I turn it on and I turn it off!

It just happens occasionally, I am not doing anything in particular that I have noticed. I am now testing pulling out the power after the battery is fully charged. Run the battery down to 95% and sticking the power back in to see if it does it when it finishes charging the battery.

It is such a quick flash that it may be hard to pick if I am doing something like surfing the net, swapping between pages or whatever.

Chook,
I've been having the same problem since updating to the new graphics driver...perhaps roll back to earlier driver

Didn't do anything! ...no flash

BTW I have only noticed this happen maybe once a week, so it doesn't worry me except I hope I'm not getting some intermittent fault, that would be difficult to find.
