Noisy LCD?

#1 Post by ambientscape » Fri Apr 22, 2005 1:55 am

My thinkpad T23 is making some noisy buzz from the LCD. The noise can only be heard in a quiet room. When i turn off the LCD.....the noise is gone. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Some old LCDs from the beginning of this technology and some low cost LCDs have this problem. A lot of PDAs with coloured LCDs are making this noisy buzz. Is it better/worse when you decrease/increase backlight ?

I would recommend you to put it into the service.
Let's go'n'restart :-)

The noise from the LCD gets louder when I increase the brightness. Hmm...I don't know whether IBM will cover this or not? I have a warranty till 2006.

I think yes, high pitched noise can be very annoying. Try to get it to the highest bright. The backlight is driven by a pulse width modulation so when you set it to max the noise should stop. But anyway take it to the service.
