    Hey all,

    For the last few days I've noticed that the right hand speaker on my M17x has started distorting after maybe 5mins of use. I've never had the speakers really cranked as to try and avoid this. I've messed around with settings in control panel (turned of bass boost, virtual surround etc) and still no luck. It will randomly start during a song in any media player (Windows Media, Winamp, VLC) If i do a reboot its fine for like 5 mins and it starts again getting gradually worse. Wondering if anyone has any advice or has experiacned this. Unfortuantly I purchased my M17x from the outlet (it was under a month old when I got hold of it) and my warranty is now non existant.

    TIA

    Steve

    Word of advice everyone! Forget buying from the outlet and getting a lousy good for nothing warranty just to save a few hundred, buy new! I'm up for a new touchpad and speaker... It's slowly adding up!
