Mine's been doing that for the past couple of months. I'd say the flyback's on its way out.Damn! This thing flickered a couple of times when I was using it last night. The screen flicked off for a split second, though there was no loss of anything and I didn't need to restart. Does that mean it's going to blow up and kill me?
It won't blow up and kill you, but when it goes out, it won't smell all that nice either.
