    Quick question for those of you who have the noise:

    Does your power adapter have 3 prongs?


    I was reading over at sony boards and they were having this problem, which sony is fixing by sending grounding adapters.

    This is me just wondering, how would a 3 pronged power adapter possibly help when you are running on battery power? Im just assuming that the noise is still heard on battery power.
