MemberIf they find nothing wrong with it then at least you will be able to set your mind at rest but judging by the forum it is a problem and samsung will fix it.
The courier turned up today and the NC10 is on its way to Samsung to hopefully get sorted

MemberOut of interest which BIOS did you have on there as since I have flashed mine to 11CA mine has not flickered once, prolly coincidence but you never know.

Memberi updated to the 11CA and it still did it mate

MemberMine is just too intermittent then, its still not done it since I put the BIOS on so its been 2 or 3 days now with no flicker. Bloody annoying!

MemberYeah i know what you mean and as mine had 3 months left on warranty i thought i would get it sorted before it ran out of time and i had to pay for it

MemberYeh, I will keep an aye on mine until February/March time next year and if its back then will send it for warranty repair.

MemberHi.
I opened the NC10, cleared, I improved LCD signal cable on the motherboard and LCD screen, the problem disappeared. Which was not diagnosed the cause as I was not able to induce the problem of white screen again. I conclude that it could be a problem of socket contacts on the screen in the main board or cable damage. But cable is not changed. Only corrected plugin.
I did not want to waste time and send in for repair.
It is not a BIOS issue or a system is obviously a hardware problem as indicated by logic, and the fact that I fix the white screen problem.Forgive me my English. 🙂

ParticipantJazzman – Welcome to the forum
Thank you for posting your findings, very interesting 🙂November 12, 2009 at 10:59 am #204647danwel
MemberGot my Sammy back today and according to the receipt it was just the power lead which they have replaced

MemberCould be right. Remember that the power management software will up the brightness when charging so there is an (indirect, software driven) link between the power cable and the screen brightness. If the power supply is intermittent that could cause the screen to flicker.

MemberI have two original power supplies. In both there was the problem. Currently, there is no problem despite the fact that power supplies are still the same.

MemberHmm well i have noticed that the problem on mine has not gone away as first thought even though it has been to Samsung who have diagnosed nothing wrong with it and simply changed the power supply.
Wondering if a change to 2gb of ram might help the problem as it seems to be more noticeable using utorrent!!

MemberAs I wrote earlier, I doubt sincerely that do their RAM helped. In principle, the RAM is damaged, it helps the exchange of ram instead of adding another. In this case, the problem is massive, I do not look for a solution where it is not. Samsung did not know where is the problem, and randomly change what they think that is the cause. In many cases, helped to exchange the LCD screen and the connecting cable, and there I looked for the cause.

MemberFWIW, I had a similar problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad. It turns out there were to different battery meters running in the system tray. I permanently disabled one of them (so that it didn’t load at start-up), and the problem resolved.
HTH.
YMMV.
