    Has anyone had this issue where if you play any audio at a pretty loud setting, there is some kind of vibration/screeching noise that comes from the laptop? Ive noticed that it mostly comes from the area to the left of the keypad. It doesn't happen when audio is low/medium, only if I put really loud. Is this a common issue?

    i've had the same problem with my 6000 which is the same chassis. i've determined over the past year or so that its the shift and cntrl, sometimes the fn and z that are vibrating on their key seats or whatever. it's somewhat annoying, but i have external speakers so...

    kidA, after examining closer I think that you are right. Is no one else having this problem? It is not audible all the time...depends on what audio/how loud it is playing. Might be easy to detect if you listen closely to the left side of keyboard. This really sux, I think I might start to use external speakers as well.
