Overpowered OP-LP3 17inch version

Long story short my laptop was making some noises send it to support and they ship me a new one, noises where the following on the previous model:



1. and a touchpad noise which was resolved with the new laptop, but I'm still getting the noise above on this brand new laptop and I'm wondering if its a design flaw?

2. My left speaker pops and I was reading the giant Tongfang thread and someone mentioned their's is doing the same thing so I believe it might be a driver issue?

3. Does anyone know what the newest or best BIOS version for this laptop is?

4. Can you upgrade the battery to a larger one with more capacity? looking for the largest possible and it doesn't matter if I loose my 2.5 Drive caddy?

Sorry for all the questions, tried to search some of these but came up with different answers or answered questions

 

1. I don't hear anything.

2. Not sure

3. I am running the drivers and BIOS found here (Get the OP3, that's for the 17"):

4. Probably (if you lose the 2.5" bay).

 

Here is the 4-cell battery for the Mech 17, which is the identical chassis:

When you say you don't hear anything are you referring to your own laptop or in the video?

do you think that is the largest battery I could get?

 

I hear nothing on your video.

It comes with a 3-cell battery. That is the 4-cell battery modification @B0B demonstrates here:


I have no idea if there are any bigger options but I doubt it.
