    I just replaced an old dell computer with a new vaio.
    I kept the external usb mouse (which I purchased overseas) that I was using for my dell onto the vaio. I didnt think much of it at the time, but both dell and vaio made the same beeping/squealing faint noises... so I thought maybe it maybe from the usb. I only have the mouse plugged in at the moment. I took it out and voila, it stopped making the constant faint noise.

    Anywho, I was wondering, does it matter that my mouse was bought overseas...ie: could that be why the computers have been making the same noise?

    Thanks for any information!
