    Hi,

    I have a strange problem. I have a dv7t and it works great. Any my mouse is a lenovo optical mouse. For some reason, when I click the red scroll wheel in the middle of the mouse to activate the scroller that shows up on the screen that allows me to move the mouse up and down to scroll up and down, my fan gets louder. It doesn't sound like the normal fan noise, so I'm not even sure what it is. The sound goes away when I stop scrolling. When I just scroll normally with the scroll wheel, there's no sound.

    Any ideas??
