    hey guys...
    i have a vaio SZ780, just 2 weeks old, running XP Pro. it works fine, but every now and again (maybe more often, as i mute my speakers most of the time) i get the sound that i hear when i connect hardware to my laptop. actually, i get the sound of disconnecting hardware, and a second or two later, i hear the sound of connecting hardware. is there something wrong in my computer, a loose connection or something? i tried switching off my bluetooth mouse and back on, but it doesnt make the sound so thats not it... any ideas? anything i can check for by myself? i dont think its worth sending my comp to get it checked, its hardly a problem...but iwant to know wat it IS. thanks!

    It has been talked many times...
    It's normal, nothing to worry about...
    It's the fingerprint sensor going off and on...
