SONY FE 11 screen flicker

[PHOTOSHOPKID]

My friend has a Sony fe11s, about 8 mths old, And it has developed a screen flicker on about a third of the screen on the left hand side, It starts when first powerd up and lasts for about 5 mins.............

Anybody any ideas? thanks

Hi Photoshop,

If your friends Vaio's still within warranty, as I suspect it is, then open a case with Vaio-Link
