This makes me wonder ....could it be that this particular batch or even
worse this particular model has some quality problem. My former boss and I
think also someone on this list said that their 560 P120 model has no such
problem.
Does anyone else having this same model also face this flickering problem?
What about those lucky people who owns one of those 560E series?
Just for the record, model and config:
Thinkpad 560 2640FNE
Pentium 133
8 mb + 32 mb RAM
1.08 gb HDD
12.1" TFT screen

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?
