Hi gsweetieuk,

I just posted a message looking for parts for Vaio Laptops. I had a similar proble - flickering screen. In my case it is the Backlight. This is a small thin neon strip along the bottom of the LCD panel itself [ in my case ]. To get at it you need to open up the LCD panel part of the laptop casing and disconnect / take out the panel itself. If you feel brave

Useful link - http://www.fonerbooks.com/laptop_8.htm

My unit - a Vaio PCG FX701 is about 4/5 years old so I had no difficulties in doing this.

Their are a number of sites online [ US sites ] that do spare parts for Sony Laptops eg http://sony.nexttronicsparts.com/comersus_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp

It could also be a thing called the Inverter - this is at the end part of your LCD panel unit - about the size of a pack of Wrigglys Chewing gum [ same shape ish ]. This supplies enough power to the LCD [ I think ]

Hope this helps,
Cheers
Aidan
