Screen flickering and freezing up

Hi,

I have a S3HP and it's only about 12/13 months old. If I leave it idol for 5 to 10 minutes the screen fades darker than usual. If I then move the mouse or keyboard the screen flickers and restores back to normal. Any ideas on why this is happening?

On top of the above, occasionally the mouse cursor freezes where it is but you can still see the cursor moving in the background but will not select anything. The only way to cure this is to hibernate the laptop or turn it off. Again any ideas as it's becoming annoying!!

Thanks

Could be a didgy inverter, check when you purchased it and then call VAIO-Link
