All A31 Users, is your casing giving squaking noise?

[stingbandel]

I just notice that around the hand rest above the speaker, if I push a little bit downward, I hear the squaking noise.


This makes the laptop like a cheap one cause it doesn't have a firm body.

I went to IBM service center and they said every A31 like that.

So I am asking if any of you who have A31 experience problem like me.


Thanks

my a31p doesn't do that. But you might try checking to see if the case screws are tight.

the screws are tight. I suspect there's something wrong with the case. However, I just want to make sure that I am the only one that is having the problem.

with that, I can make sure the IBM tech to replace the case for me.


maybe others want to clarify it for me.

thanks

Neither one of mine squeaks.

My palm rest feels solid, but one of my ultrabay is empty. I noticed that when it is empty there us less support from the bottom and the keyboard seem to vibrate on the side wit empty ultrabay.

I saw ultrabay floppy drives for $5 buy it now on e-bay. May be I will just use that.

A series is definitely not as solid as the T series. But it is pretty comfortable now that I am getting used to it.

so I think mine is defective cause I have floopy drive inserted already.

I think I'm gonna wait til they have the new case for me.

maybe other people want to participate and give their answers?

thanks

Mine squeeks if I press hard enough

[stingbandel]

I don't really need any power to make the case squakes.

I am sure now that the case has problem.


thanks

they have replaced my case. They found out the case broken inside after opening it.

I had this horrible high pitched "buzz" when I first got my A31P in 2003. After a bios update it was fixed. Hard to believe a bios update did the trick but it was documented and it def worked.
