> A few months ago I requested help in here for a flickery laptop screen

> Now the flicker is pretty much all the time.

> screen or whether I could vaguey see windows through the blackness.
> Well I can now. Couldnt at first but the last few days it has been
> like that. IIRC the helpful person gave a reason why it would go like
> that but I cannot find the thread, so I am wondering if someone can
> once again explain please? Its getting to a point now it could
> flicker and go black for up to 10-15 seconds at a time.
> I am concerned this is going to be an expensive fix.
