[M100] Screen Flickering?

Hi all- Anything in particular I can do to fix a flickering display? It's just started happening. It was doing it on an AC adapter so I unhooked that and put in four fresh AAs, but it kept doing it. I did open it up and checked the movement on the contrast knob and that seemed fine. I'm just

Hi all- So... recent discussions here inspired me to put Teeny on my 'new' M100 and DL on my Win XP laptop. I had previously used Teeny on my first M100 with DLPlus on Linux, with no problems at all. This was my first time using the Teeny.exe package on the PC, though, and (to my knowledge) the
