Yes. Several times, even a factory reset doesn't help.

It has only happened a few times over the last few months, so it is not a problem for me at all yet, but I think it could be a sign the device is aging.

GeoffR, the device is hardly 18 months olds. I have read on this forum that Kobos work flawlessly for many more years. Unfortunately the warranty is over, otherwise I could have tried for a replacement.
My earlier thought about a loose connection to LED's is also ruled out, because in that case, the flicker must generate even on 100% intensity or so.
This is something strange, I guess. However, sliding the light up and down sometimes makes the thing stable. It has to be a hardware issue anyhow, IMO.
