I've noticed that sometimes my blue Cold Cathode sort of flickers intermittenly... What could cause this?

Whats your 12v line? Maybe your voltages drop on the 12v a bit and couses the bulb to flicker?? I noticed my 12v changes alot when I am watching my digi doc...

If it is on the same cable as a hard drive, that can cause it to flicker. My wife's did that. Put it on a pig tail either by itself or with your fans and such..


Goods luck

I got mine from dealsonic. It came with my case... It's a cheapie, so I'm not surprised. It may be my PSU though.
