erm try toggling with them and see if you can make it stop - turn it down for 10 mins - then back up

also go to control panel  - power - and turn OFF any power save feature

not sounding good thou!

Definitely sounds like intermittent power of some sort, possibly even a bad connection within the laptop itself.

Unplug it and let it run off the battery for awhile, if it still does it you rule out the connection/cable/transformer being the problem. If it stops you know you either need a new cable/transformer/fixed connection or more serious work inside.

If it's changing as often as you make out, it's highly unlikely to be a software problem. Sounds totally hardware related IMO.

Still, if you change the power-saving settings to not change the brightness of the screen if the laptop is plugged in/unplugged, then it wouldn't get brighter and darker even if the power kept on coming on and off.
