I have a Sony Vaio laptop, approximately 3-4 years old. The screen has begun
to flicker, looks like the backlighting is turning on and off. What's going
on and how can I resolve this issue? Thanks for the input.

Likely the backlight and /or inverter failing. (could be the ribbon cable)

Hook up an external monitor. If the problem does not reproduce itself there
above is the most probable.

As I understand all lcd monitors come with a lamp that you suppossed to
change in a certain time, hope it helps

My bet is the voltage inverter is failing. The voltage is erratic and
when it goes low, the fluorescent lamp goes dark.
