Picture flickering on and off. All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of its life.

Hold a flashlight at an angle to the screen to see if can can still see the desktop, if so, it's an inverter problem. Let us know and we can get you to the correct guide.
