Acer :: Aspire 5920 Making Strange Noises After Spill

Mar 22, 2009

A few weeks ago I spilled green tea (no milk or sugar) on the desk around my Acer Aspire 5920 laptop. The tea went into the back left quarter of the machine, mainly through the ventilation holes and the ports on the left side. I removed the battery, drained the liquid, and let the machine dry out thoroughly. Since then the machine has worked fine. However, it occasionally makes strange noises, especially on start up. It's a fizzing/popping noise, in short bursts, like static. It sounds as if it's coming from the loudspeaker.

does anyone know the machine well enough to diagnose the fault? Only the components in the back left quarter of the machine got wet. Could there still be water in there? Is the noise a sign of a serious problem? What can I do to fix it? As I said, the spill happened several weeks ago, and, apart from the noise, the machine works fine.

I've noticed that my 8510p's HDD (which is a Toshiba) makes a loud scratching sound for about a second every week or every two weeks. I ran HD Tune's error scan and it came up with no damaged blocks. What's wrong? Should I be worried? I've already backed-up my important stuff.

Sony :: Vaio SZ Fan Making Unusual Sound Spinning Down

Aug 20, 2009

Whenever my SZ fan spins down it makes a strange sound, as if it's rubbing against something.

I've disassembled the laptop and cleaned the fan. Nothing was obstructing the fan yet it makes the same noise.

It doesn't do it while spinning up, while running or even if I manually slow the fan down by holding a Q-Tip against it while it's spinning

Apple :: Macbook Pro - Battery Cover Making Ticking Sound When Pressed

Jan 18, 2010

I bought a 13 inch macbook pro about a month ago and while enjoying my laptop, I heard a very faint tick sound. after a few days the tick sound become more prominent and after reading few complaints about ticking/clicking sound I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with the motion sensor or fan noise problems.

after few weeks gone by and I found out that if you press the bottom side of the laptop it will make a tick sound (is this normal?) I am not sure if this is causing the ticking problem I've been hearing.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: No Sound / Audio At Random Times On T430s

Nov 9, 2012

My 3 month old t430s has a major issue with the audio/sound.  At completely random times, I will have no sound for a matter of minutes or hours.  This is primarily with web software and persists across multiple browsers.  
 
- The speakers all test and the troubleshooting tests say they are working just fine. Occasionally, when testing the speakers, the control panel will give an error stating that they are in use by another program and that program needs to be shut down before they can be tested.
 
- all drivers are up to date and have recently been uninstalled and reinstalled
 
- the default audio device is set to the appropriate speakers
 
- I have had this problem with and without the Dolby Advanced Equalizer driver that comes as an optional sound update
 
- I have had sporadic luck with plugging in headphones, but often this does not give me any audio either.

Dell :: 1520 Strange Hdd Noise

Sep 16, 2007

i recently buyed a dell 1520, i'm very pleased of this laptop, my first laptop, but i'm worryed about one issue

from time to time, like 20-40 seconds, the hard drive (wd 160gb) makes a strange clonk/clink sound like it would park his heads and power off then power back on, and in that time, my games freeze for 0.5 sec or so, just a very fast freeze, and i have no ideea if this is good and normal or not, but from my previous experiece, it does not sound very healthy

i tryed with bypass/quiet/performace settings in bios at hdd management and it's no difference, and ofc the power saving is disabled both on hdd and on display so i'm getting to think the hdd has some problems, what you think?

the thing is that i have no errors on smart, i have no boot problems, i have no errors, just the annoying sound and the very small freezes

Dell :: Strange Hard Crash On An M6400

Mar 12, 2010

So my trusty Dell M6400 somehow crashed, hard, last night. I wasn't even there when it happened, but when I came back to my desk the system had rebooted, and was sitting at a BIOS prompt saying that no bootable device could be found, with the RAID controller indicating the status of my RAID1 array as "Rebuild". However,


when I went into the RAID controller setup, did nothing, and exited the setup, the system rebooted just fine (so maybe that "boot device not found" message was simply a way for the controller to prevent the system from simply rebooting, so someone is forced to actually look at what happened).

However, after rebooting the system indeed spent some thirty minutes rebuilding my RAID1 array. What makes this so particularly mysterious is that this system has never misbehaved in any way, plus there are no messages in any of the event logs indicating what might have happened. The Windows logs contain absolutely nothing, except for two errors caused by the sudden reboot itself

Dell :: M1530 Strange Going Into Sleep Mode

Jul 13, 2009

Situation : I finish surfing web and I wanna give it a little break. I close the lid.

I have set it to goto sleep when lid closed (if any1 suggested this). I come back open up but the laptop didnt go to sleep, HDD activity is minimal but I can hear it spinning.

Also the screen is still bright but black, I can still change the brightness though with the Fn+upArrow or Fn+downArrow. In order to return to functional state I have to HARDreset.

Dell :: Studio XPS 1640 Strange Sounds

Aug 29, 2009

I've got the model with the 4670 graphics & other than a few Vista gripes & this little problem I'm very happy with it.

The 'strange sounds' are similar to explorer mouse clicks & occur randomly, even if doing nothing & with sound themes turned off. I couldn't capture the sound from the line out (there was just a little crackle), but here's a recording from the built in mic: [url] What makes it impossible to ignore is that things wont respond as usual when the sound occurs. Eg. If you're navigating a menu it'll not display until the sound has gone.

Aiming to hit two birds with one stone I installed XP x64. Unsurprisingly there were no strange sounds after installation as I haven't yet got a sound card driver installed. The weird thing is that the very instant I installed the ATI graphics driver it started with the exact same sounds... Even tho Windows doesn't yet recognise the sound card.

Dell :: Strange Discoloration Of Aluminum On XPS Laptop

Sep 16, 2008

I have noticed this for awhile now, but I have been able to ignore it previously due to the problem being discrete and im not a very picky person. But as time went on this has gone far worse than i thought. As you can see in the 3 images i have attached below there is severe discoloration of the aluminum palm rests/base pieces of my xps laptop in the form of an imprint of a human hand.

The print on the left is the worst and the prints to the right of the touch pad are a little bit better. I have only owned this laptop for roughly 8 month and i dont even use the laptop that much everyday.

I really dont feel like calling dell support again cause i just called them to replace my faulty screen 2 weeks ago and i really dont know how a Dell technician can come to my house and fix this unless he replace the whole base.

Dell :: Strange Lines And Characters Across My MX1210 Screen...

Apr 7, 2009

My dell mx1210 has been giving me these strange vertical lines on my screen with different characters on the text as well whenever I boot up.

I suspect a graphic card driver issue b/c it usually happens only after I install the Geforce go 7400 drivers. I had already tried the latest drivers but those didn’t help either.

Every now and then, even if I had uninstalled the drivers it still shows upon start up or I get blank screens later when on desktop. Is anyone familiar with this type of problem on their laptop? Unfortunately, I don’t think the graphic card is irreplaceable on this particular notebook.

Oct 12, 2009

My dell Inspiron E1705 has been giving me these strange horizontal / angular lines and dots on my screen with different characters on the text as well whenever I boot up.

Have installed latest nvidia drivers too. I actually reformatted the system and installed all the drivers. For a week system worked fine and then started showing the display abnormality.
