Unlikely, but then I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a "flicker" - presumably a video problem. Anyway, if it's plugged in what difference would it make. Also, you don't need to reinstall the OS to test for a video problem - simply sitting in the BIOS might tell you, or a disk based OS like Ubuntu.
BTW it's probably normal for a three year old battery to be nearing the end of it's useful life.
