Re: Flickering Screen

Hi JenniferM,

Your laptop has a battery and AC adapter, right? When you use the laptop, you leave the battery attached and AC adapter plugged in, is this correct?
With this scenario, is your screen bright? Any other symptoms?

Now how about removing the battery. That leaves you with your AC adapter only. Your source of power is coming from the wall outlet via the AC adapter. With this scenario is your screen bright? Any other symptoms?

Now remove the AC adapter (unplug from laptop and wall outlet). Put your battery back in the laptop and power ON the laptop. With this scenario when you are completely running on battery alone, is your screen bright? Any other symptoms you notice?

I hope that helps clarify...
