T61P high pitched buzzing, + laptop porn

OK here are some pics of a T61P naked!

My T61P makes a high pitched buzzing / whining noise and the noise comes right from the area in the red circle. In fact, I can't tell, but it might be coming from one of those 2 little chips. That is where it sounds like it is coming from. Anyone else notice this?

it gets louder when there is graphical stuff going on on the screen, and also is louder when the power cord is disconnected.

Anyways...just thought you might like to see. Anyone else have this noise? Try putting your ear close to the keyboard and see if you hear the constantly changing squealing type noises. Sometimes it's loud enough you can hear it anywhere in the room

Anyways... my T61p has had memory or video problems lately and I'm sending it in for depot repair... I hope they give me a new planar card (aka motherboard), and maybe the new one will be quiet... And if you are wondering, no that is not my laptop in the pictures.

 

haha lol

interesting pics

 

Your motherboard might have a short

 

Guys, this is the infamous processor squeal that you CAN NOT doing anything about. You just wasted time. There is no short.

It's the processor switching from a lower state of performance to a higher. Thats why you hear it more when you unplug the AC adapter because now it has to go into a deeper battery save mode and switch between that and a higher clock speed when you open a more CPU intensive program.

 

iv'e heard RMClock was able to get rid of this...?

 

and lol @ blocking out serial numbers

 

Are you sure about that? The noise isn't coming from the CPU area at all. See the pics. Is that where the noise would come from if it's the CPU squeal you are talking about? I'm not saying you're wrong I just want to make sure you know, the noise is coming from a completely different area of the motherboard. I remember reading about the CPU noises but I thought they were supposed to come from the CPU area, and were supposed to be more constant. This noise is very changing and chaotic, it sounds kind of like the noises a modem makes.

 

Go into BIOS, under power, two bottom settings, CPU and PCI-Express power management , try to disable them, see what happens.

 

Here hellbore maybe this can help: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=173399&highlight=hiss

I have the same noise, just like you describe, kinda sounds like a modem, or a inconsistent screech that randomly changes volume/pitch (can't remember). I can't seem to recreate it however, it pops up randomly and I haven't heard it for a while now. I have all the Lenovo updates installed including bios updates FWIW.

 

I had same problem before. After few searches I found this site:

I tried myself and it actually works. For me at least

 

Its the GPU, one of the reasons i'm returning my t61p. Can't overclock it and stay stable at all anymore. The sound really picks up when I load World in conflict.

 

Did they fix your t61p yet?

 

im having the same problem, sounds like the hard drive.... what HDD manufacturer and size do you have??? see my posting..... search for high pitch.

 

just use the rmclock will do....so extra to take out the part?
