So I grabbed cheap HP 2509m off craigslist that exhibits a flashing screen (much like if your refresh rate is set incorrectly).

Everything displays perfectly, however it....flashes....as though the backlight is pulsing between medium brightness and high brightness. Sometimes when I turn it on, it actually corrects itself after a few seconds and works perfectly.

Now, I bought this with the intent to open it up and attempt to repair it. It is a sunk cost, and if I break it further I am not concerned. I bought it to tinker with. My question to the master tinkerers...
