smeezekitty, you don't know what you're talking about. Just stop. Come back when you've learned a thing or two about computers and how they work. Actually...don't...
Paco833,I apologize that you have had the misfortune of this person posting in your topic. It's a bit of a nuisance on the forum that we are currently dealing with and will hopefully have cleared up soon.
Now, this isn't really my area of expertise, but I've got a few questions that will hopefully help take us in the right direction...
1. Is your laptop still under warranty by any chance?
2. How long has this been happening?
3. In the event that it may be malware...what protection do you have on your computer? Have you run any scans lately? An infection is quite unlikely in your case, but there's a possibility that it could be an underlying problem. The flickering could be a hardware problem and the typing issue could be a malware problem.
4. Does this problem happen constantly or only at certain times? What kinds of devices are normally around your computer? If you physically move it to another room or opposite end of the house, does the problem persist? It's possible that something nearby could be causing interference. Radios, cell phones, or anything else that transmits/receives signals. Speakers can also cause strange issues like this in some cases, as well as electrical wires that aren't properly grounded. Heck, I've even heard of boilers causing interference problems. A quick and simple test would be to take the laptop outside or to a friend's house and see if it still acts up. If it does, then at least you can probably rule out inteference.
5. Are you absolutely sure that this is causing problems with typing? I'm not trying to call you a bad typist or anything, but do you think that it might just be a coincidence? I ask this because some Toshiba models are prone to failing LCD inverters. If that's the case, you could fix it for about $50 or so. But this problem wouldn't have any impact on your typing.
If interference is not the culprit here, then Broni may be right. I hope he's not, but it's a distinct possibility. And if so, then he's also right about how difficult it is to do something about this. You can upgrade the graphics card on some laptops, but I'm pretty certain it can't be done with your particular model. Sure, there's always some possible way, but like he said, it wouldn't really be worth it. If you'd like, you can take a look at this informative page:
