Sound coming from T20...reminiscent of a katydid

#1 Post by dsigma6 » Thu Oct 26, 2006 9:04 pm

I've noticed a sound just like a katydid makes, however it has less of a pitch. I can't hear where it's coming from exactly, but at this point I've turned the LCD off, removed the HD, wirless card and DVD drive. Could the motherboard make such a sound?

Spray some RAID inside immediately. :SH!:



I would say the fan bearing could be squeaking, pull it out replace or use some light oil on it.

Good point, both of you. I managed to let that idea pass by.
