OK, so last year I bought an Emachine's notebook. Less than a year goes by and it overheated so bad it wouldn't even boot up. I got a store credit because I bought Best Buy's warranty and I got the M6810. In the store checking it out it had problems and the tech suggested I exchange it. I did. I brought it home and that one had problems too. They called around other stores to see if someone had one with a different batch number and I exchanged it. So, here I am on #3 of model M6810 and now my screen starts flickering, usually when I'm on battery power, but not always. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? I looked for an updated video driver but couldn't find one. Maybe I need to stay way from Emachines.

TIA!

I have had the same issue (flickering screen) on my M6805 which is only 3.5 months old. It seems to help if I push the screen all the way back/flat, then pull it back to the normal position. But after a while it starts to flicker again. I think there is a short or loose connection where the wires run from the main board to the screen. I just contact emachines and they told me to reinstall the video drivers. I doubt this will help, but I will try it anyway.

I had the same problem. Called Emachines, and they are gonna fix it for me. It is apparantly a loose connection...

apparently it is related to hing cracking and messing up connection wires to lcd. I had hinges replaced and it fixed that problem for 4 months now. Just be aware of hinges and not opening the lcd too far.
