I have had that problem on a couple of units.  Supposedly there was some fix adding a capacitor somewhere on the board, but I never bothered.

edit: http://mysite.verizon.net/jartz/amiga/amiga.html, search for flickfix.

edit again: same one here, I think: http://aminet.net/package/docs/hard/flickfix

Maybe it just needs new capacitors in general.

I don't think I actually tried it, I seem to recall using a different power supply with a large ferrite bead lessening the issue enough for me.  However, so far that's two people who've used it and had luck!
