Random (aperiodic) flicker is likely a cracked or poor electrical connection (and as knc1 mentioned, would probably be affected by vibration). Periodic flicker (i.e. a fast regular blink) would more likely be caused by failing components as I described in a previous post. Failing components might be allowing a local radio station carrier frequency to ring-modulate your frontpanel LEDs, for example. An oscilloscope you help diagnose what is going on, while freezing components (as knc1 suggested) may help locate the specific failing device.
Oh. I get it now. Then yes, it is random, the flickering does not have a pattern. It even seems to stop if I go to MAX for a minute and then go back to 10 (Since sometimes it also happens when it's on 10).

But notice that even when its on MAX the real light is not going past 10.
