ze4600 series screen flicker

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
i'm not sure if this has been asked before, but my ze4610us notebook has recently (started around last week) started to flicker randomly. Every hour or so, the screen will kinda go dark for a few milliseconds, its not very noticable unless i'm reading or playing a game or doing something that requires me to stare directly at the screen. At first i thought it was power surges or something, since its raining here, so i inserted my batter (which was out because i have it plugged in most of the time), but after a few hours, it's still having the same problem. Just to test it out with Ac unplugged and running on battery, i just unplugged it. I will update on how that goes. However, does anyone know if this problem is due to the AC or the screen having problems?
the computer specs is in my sig.

First thing to check is the AC adapter.. If replacement doesnt help yell,, I have seen issues in the switching circuit that will cause a decrease in brightness almost consistent enough to set a stopwatch to.. Bright/dark every second back and forth.. You get the idea..

nevermind, it stopped. I think it was just light power surges that didn't make the computer go to battery, but enough to make it flicker whenever it happened.
