    so i got a asus g50vt-x1 from bb the other day...i started to play with it...and started watching a movie from a usb external hdd. well i usually watch movies with headphones on since i have room mate who sleeps alot....anyway, whenever i hooked up the hdd i could hear the hdd spin up as a loud squealing, and screeching and everytime it accessed the hdd i could hear the squealing,... it was really annoying ..tried the other usb port right next to it, same thing...tried different headphones, same result. tried the usb port on the back and opposite side, tested fine....so i took it back and got a refund...now was it a jacked up lappy or do all the g50's do that since the usb ports are right next to the headphone jack..i was looking to get the g50vt-x2 from newegg but if they all do this forget it...anybody experience this phenomenon

    This is actually a known issue that is on the G50v series FAQ thread...
