buzzing sound when i scroll a page

#1 Post by lazyazn » Sun Dec 09, 2007 12:39 am

hi

there is a very fast clicking/ buzzing sound when i try to scroll a page. it can be either a webpage or inside of my computer. i know this is not the mouse's problem because there is a noise as well when i use the keyboard to scroll the page.

does anyone know what is going on?

BTW i have a t60 vista

thanks

Please refer to Thinkwiki:

moving windows or just the mouse in xorg


strange noise like a rapid series of very short high pitch noises adding to a constant kind of whistling (only as long as the movement goes)

o 2628
* T41p
o 2373-GHG
* T60
that's the closest one but doesn't really describe what exactly i have. All the solutions are in linux, so i couldn't try any of them.

Also the noise comes from the left side of the laptop.

The source of that "electricity like noise" is Intel chipset which is also present on machines from other manufacturers:

Widespread Laptop Whining / Buzzing problem.

Change your Power plan, it will minimize it to some extent.
