    Was it flickering before you took it apart?

    It flickers for a reason beleive me and it flickers because you opened it up. But you didn't know it would.

    I had the same problem. For me it was the ATI drivers. I removed all extra stuff and re-installed just the driver and all is well.

    I'm pretty sure we are talking about the same flicker. I would get it for no reason. Very quick flickers. I uninstalled everything ATI except for the actual driver and all is well again.

    It turns out that I'm still experiencing the flicker but now it's only when I use my Flip Camcorder.

    hey, i have one of those flip camcorders. i find that i have to lift my t400 slightly in order to get the camcorder's built-in usb connector to attach. do you have to lift yours slightly as well? if so, maybe that's causing the flickering?
