    this is actually my second M17x as my first one was having problems with the right fan, after playing with it a little bit i noticed that there was a buzzing sound coming from the computer, at first i thought it was the actual computer (something like the processor, or the fan, or something like that) but after really paying attention to it i noticed today that the sound actually is coming from the screen.
    I dont remember my first computer making this sound so i just wanted to know if this is normal or should i call technical support and ask for a replacement screen?
    thanks

    Is the sound constant or intermittent?
