have you guys encountered screen flickering ?

sometimes it would blackout itself, can only recover the screen after waking up from standby mode.

initially, thought this is cause by wireless driver so that i updated to the latest driver and to no avail.
sometimes, it does flicker too.

This is a known issue posted here and on the Lenovo site. I can't remember the exact posts, but I had this issue several months ago. Based on the feedback of others, I rolled back my video drivers.
It seems that the current updated driver caused this issue.
My screen would flicker while I was on battery only. The flicker would occur and then my screen would go to black.

Lenovo does not have a fix for this, but they are trying to determing the root cause. You may want to find those posts and stay tuned.

I think they are titled "Screen Flickers" or some such verbage.
