Issues with Tecra A7.

On the left side of the laptop there are two slots for PCI cards on top of each other. It doesn't have anything in it like other laptops, toshibas have a vcr shutter kind of covers. More convienent and looks better. The problem is that whenever I move my hand on top of the left palm area which is over the slots, I get a clickity clack kind of sound. It is so irritating that I am considering selling the machine all together. Anyone has the same problem? Anyone know what I can do? All suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

 

Put something in those slots! I mean, it would be kinda a waste just to fill those spots.. You could get an inexpensive dedicated sound card.. You could get a couple firewire or usb ports.. That is what I would do.. You would definitly spend more money selling your lappy and buying a new one, than filling in those spots with a couple of ultra cheap cards..

Cheap sound cards = 29 dollors
Cheap usb cards = I think around 15?

You could get a firewire port, and a usb port.. then you would possible use this stuff in the future.

 

I also might look into getting some plastic "dummies" to fill the slots as a more inexpensive alternative.
