Fixed a laptop screen flicker with one capacitor swap
I had a laptop come in with a screen that would flicker on and off. At first, I figured it was a bad backlight or loose cable. After testing, I found the inverter board was getting uneven power. Turns out, a small capacitor on the board was going bad under use. Swapping that cap fixed everything, and the screen is now steady. It's a common issue but easy to miss if you don't check power delivery. Feels good to solve something that seems tricky at first, lol.

I blamed loose cables until this exact fix.
