    I've been using my m1330 for almost a month now and everything is fine. Except the annoying LCD flicker. I have the LED screen (CMO) and sometimes it would flicker. It happens very quickly (like a flash) but still noticeable to the eye. I only notice it once everytime I bootup the system.
    Anyone know what the problem could be? This happens in Vista and also XP. I'm using the most recent video drivers from laptop2go.

    version: 6.14.11.6344

    I don't have any other problems either than this...damn it.

    specs see sig.

    I'm pretty sure that 'the flicker' is when your operating system probes ports for external monitors at launch.

    It's supposed to do that.
