Sounds like your problem was more "wobble" than "flicker".  If that's the 
case, it's caused by a stray magnetic field.  Lead will do nothing to fix 
this.  You need to either implement magnetic shielding (usually done with 
certain metals - not lead), or simply use a LCD monitor, as LCDs are 
unaffected by magnetic fields.

Also, as you noticed, moving parts around will solve the problem too.
