    Hi all,

    I have followed this forum for a while, and indeed the reviews led me to purchase my xi 1546.

    I have been very happy with my machine however last night, it seemed a lot noisier than it normally is..

    there now seems to be a hi pitch whine coming from one of the fans :confused:

    Have started the laptop this evening and its boots up and starts quiet,,with the fan purring normally,, then within 2minutes,, it seems the fan ( or another fan) kicks in speeds up ,then the hi pitch whine starts and remains all the time the laptop is on.. :mad:

    The machine appears to be functioning perfectly okay,, but this darned whining noise is soo irritating.

    Its only 6 months into its 12month warranty.. do you think I should contact Fujitsu about getting it collected and repaired ?


    My gut feeling is its a fan of some sort,, as the noise speeds up and slows down in sync with the normal fan noise ?

    Any ideas please :confused:


    Cheers
