15" Unibody MacBook Pro Screen Flickering

This is when using the 9400m/"Better Battery Life" function on the 15" Late 2008 Unibody MacBook Pro. This is my second Logic Board and I will probably need a new one. It's a little shy for the camera but you can clearly see the screen flickering at:

0:46
1:20
2:00

UPDATE: Apple has since replaced this MacBook Pro completely and they even upgraded me to the newer models (2.66GHz/4GB/320GB). Great customer service!

It's not a Driver problem... it's can't be... by doing fresh installs of Leopard, then snow leopard... and then again another fresh one of the new Lion OS, I still get flickering.

My problem is that my screen will flicker black. I am very frustrated, since I need this computer to do my school work, and Apple isn't helping me at all! Very frustrating.

How'd you manage to catch it on video? I've got the exact same problem and I have no idea how to replicate it.
