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.

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?
