Take the screws out of the back (including under the CF flap). (Picture)
Carefully pry around the edges of the device, releasing the locktabs one at a time. (Do this with a blunt object, preferably plastic - a plastic screwdriver is perfect.)
Lift the front cover off.
On the bottom, there is a screw under the screen, near the directional pad and speaker. Slowly turn it, but not too far (this can cause weird things...like the screen changing color). It should stop flickering when you find a good place, turning the screw either way, but preferably clockwise (though either direction will work). You should be able to find a setting where the flicker disappears (try this on a screen where you notice the flicker the most, at the brightness setting you can see it flicker most). (Picture)
After you're happy....put the thing back together...
Snap it together, making sure not to get the metal on the sides of the device stuck between the plastic covers.
