It has only been a month or so and my Inspiron 1100 is already beginning to bug me. Occasionally, I am noticing flickering of screen (a streaky or line-like flashing) and the frequency of such occasions is increasing with every passing day. After convincing myself that it wasn’t any simple, self-correcting, issue, I spoke with the DELL Technical Representatives and they proposed to replace the hard-drive! I don’t see any connection here and hopefully, I am wrong & the problem will be solved.
