hmm so the patch isn't working for everyone! Interesting....

i'm on a research binge before i buy this thing! (thanks for the info)

Well the screen flickering isnt happening to everyone so we are just gonna get another one

[jon6544]

there is a software patch that fixes the problem. it worked for me!!

[MYOLDNEIGHBORHOOD]

nah because i have already got it and it didnt work. It still flickers. I think its the graphics card.

You can send it back if you want. Alternatively you can run software update and download the patch the fix's the graphics card flicker issue.

I had this problem too but now its corrected. I dont think you need to get a new machine at all.

Go to Apple's online support pages and type in "Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM".

The reset is a simple procedure that can be completed in 5 minutes. Also, if you keep adjusting the contrast on your screen, it will cause the automatic sensor to misbehave. Find a contrast setting and keep it, let the Mac do the rest.

Your darn lucky then! because most of us are having the same problem and well is going back in a few. Buying it again when all of this is confirmed that is fixed
