Hello, try to update the video drivers. www.vaio-link.com. There is a month old new nvidia driver.

This update resolves the following problems:
- Screen goes black when playing M2T file with DVgate Plus
- Colour noise appears when playing M2T file with Windows Media Player
- LCD brightness flashes when it is dimmed (by pressing Fn+F5 or unplugging AC adapter)

This update is to be installed on the VAIO models listed below.

VGN-S3XP
VGN-S3HP
VGN-S3VP
VGN-S4HP/B

Try the recovery solution that comes with uor VAIOs. If doesn't works, then may be a good option to return your computer.

it s very simple the problem.
The screen it s coming black and rechage the immage .
The black screen it s very fast. Immage it the same time as u close your eyes, the effect it s excacly like this. immage that u are working at pc for more time that 10 minuts, u come crazy.
the time of intermiten frequency it s random every time,
more or less overy 1 and half minute.

kee-lo does this sound like the problems that people were getting from the fs series, the dimmer inverter flickering.
i have an s series my screen is fine i use it for hours and its fine.

btw i got my lid cover from vaio-link

Could well be the flickering of an inverter
I would ask VAIO-Link to check this for you
