LCD screen flicks/blinks

#1 Post by darkdragoon » Thu Dec 25, 2008 10:47 pm

Did a seach and came up with nothing. Anyhow my x40 had experienced some sort of flicks/blinks on the screen, it blinks like 1/10th of a second every once in a while. Would it be the cause of a bad inverter? Or more like an update patch is required?

I had the same problem on my T43p when I was using a 56W AC adapter instead of its 72W adapter (I was also charging a battery at the time), it works fine on 72W adapters.

Now, I believe the X40 only needs a 56W adapter in the first place, so this might not be the cause. Is the X40 powering any external devices?

You might be right but then I use both adapters comes with X40 (home use) and one frm my previous T30 (office use).
