    Sometimes when I am typing on my Mid 2009 macbook white there is a sort of buzzing sound, I have ruled this down to the magnet on the top left of the screen as if i put somthing magnetic near it i can hear the magnet moving slightly, I havent had this issue with my 17" MBP

    Is this anything to worry about or is it a common problem?


    p.s. it only happens when the screen is at certain angles

    not even sure there is a magnet up there... hopefully they haven't put the inverter up there and yours is slightly faulty.... I'd look for some kind of take-apart guide on the internet to see whats really up there, since usually the magnets are on the bottom part of the closure
