    i just received t61 and am using it.
    But i can sometimes hear the little plastic sound from
    monitor like 'tictic' constantly. when the laptop is off, of course,
    there's no sound but starting it, i hear that sound.

    my guess is that the plastic around lcd got some heat while on
    and the plastic makes some sound through the heat.

    i dont know.

    Anyone experienced this one?

    Hi denimpawell,


    the tick-tick sound comes from the magnesium rollcage.


    Nothing to worry! It´s a feature.
