    Didnt have this problem in the first few months, but lately if the lcd is between the middle range of brightness, it will noticeably hum, once I change the brightness up or down frmo this range, it goes away...anyone else?

    I noticed this on my external lcd in the past, but it didnt bother me as much as this laptop..

    I've had the notebook for almost a month now, no humming LCD. Mabey it's getting too hot?

    What LCD does the 1210 have anyway?

    It is the LCD inverter that is making this sound...

    I have the same problem with my e1405. if i tap the plastic above the inverter, it quits. most of the time.
