Nope I only have the will not power down thing.
I think that the black power flicker is either a driver issue or your cable is not perfectly connected to the monitor or VGA. Or even a cable that is faulty. Some of the cables I tested had a live pinout that should have been floating. This can cause a monitor to think it is on even when no signal is being sent. So borrow a mates and see what happens.
Did not fix my screen however.
Like the monitor but it was a pain in the butt this issue. Ended up sticking it in the office upstairs for use with the wife's laptop. The minute I changed monitor no more problem.
