Default Re: Laptop making weird squealing noise/monitor flickering

Might also be the backlight/inverter getting ready to go.

A lot of laptops will run the screen at reduced brightness when on battery power. There is a long fluorescent tube that provides the backlight.

I had to replace one not too long ago. Not because of squealing, it went dark.
