    Hi! I have been using a MS-1029 for a pretty long time (almost a year) and it has been doing awesome with no problems! But, latley it seems there is one. When I open my screen for the first time after I turn it on it flickers a bit (the backlight does) Its really annoying and Im guessing its from using it alot (opening and closing). After a while it goes away but it always comes back. Any ideas on how I could fix it or something?

    Okay a question or two.....

    Does it do it every time you start the laptop, then after maybe 10 minutes stop. Then of course flicker again when you start it again?

    Or does it flicker on and off over the entire time you are using it?

    So my follow up is, does it do it every time, so its repeatable? If so I would suggest contacting your reseller/retailer about it as a warrenty issue. (hopefully you can get to it before your year is up)

    If I hold the screen in the right posistion than it appears to be fine, but after the screen has been off for a while and you turn it on it is pretty flickery but after a while its fine. I bought the parts and built it myself so Im not sure o_O but I bought it from ewiz, I don't think I can get a new one.
