Horrible ton why?

#1 Post by ulix » Sat Mar 09, 2013 8:50 am

Hi,
i have a problem with my T42, sometimes I get a horrible noise. I think the noise is not produced from the speakers. It's a high pitched sound. It's only appearing when windows is up and running, never accured when booting. But i can't establish why it's comming, last time it accured when I closed the lid.can anyone help me?

From what part of the laptop is this noise coming?
Is it a beep? Whine? Buzz? Rattle?
You are going to need to narrow it down a bit before we can be of much help.

Hi,
like I said it only appears spantanous. It appears to comming from the right side under the keyboard. Near backspace.
The volume is like a normal bios beep.
It's beep, but it sounds scratchy, not like a normal bios/ windows sound.
There is no cd in the drive nor dvd.
cheers

Remove the CD drive for a while, and let us know if it still happens then.

Normally there is an event "beep" when the system goes into stand-by. Could that be what you are hearing?

Open up the volume control panel and select Advanced options. Lower / mute the microphone input and see if that helps.
