Sony PCG-F812 display flickering

[RMA]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

On this 6 year old Sony the display brightness has started to flicker
more and more. Also now when it flickers I can heas arcing type noise
through the speakers. It changes when the lid is moved back and forth.
If it is a bad connection is it more likely in the lid or the main
unit?? Also does anyone know how to disassemble the lid if the problem
is there. Thanks

The inverter is arcing and will soon fail entirely.
