2nd time my late 2008/early 09 unibody screen has flicked off

Last night, for no apparent reason the screen on my late 2008/early 09 uMBP flicked to completely black for about 2-3 seconds and then flicked back to normal. and now it just did it again.

the laptop is a refurb that I bought less than a month ago. Is there some setting I am unaware of that I might have accidently set that would cause this to happen?

hasnt happened yet again, but just curious whether I should be worried about it or not

Maybe a loose cable? If it happens again, you should definitely call Apple.

this happens to me on occasion to me, annoying yes, but for now im under warranty so if my computer breaks im still ok.
