After about 2 years the screen on my Lenovo laptop started flickering. I opened up the laptop to re-seat the connection from the screen to the motherboard, this seemed to help a little bit at the time but it's becoming progressively worse. A friend of mine who does hardware for a major corporation told me this isn't that uncommon with Lenovo. The laptop is in otherwise great condition, but between this and Superfish I won't be buying Lenovo again either.

That's interesting to read about re-seating the connector. I have a 6 year old TP T540p which experiences half of the screen flickering. When I first got the T540p the wireless signal strength was terrible. I replaced the wireless card with two different other brands but they didn't improve the signal strength. Lenovo sent a tech onsite that opened the computer up to discover that the antenna which is routed from the mobo up through the hinge was being pinched when the screen was opened.
