    Hey guys, just joined today, seems like a very good place for help :)

    anyways, just bought a FJ-270 , two days ago and lovin it. Only thing im concerned about is this hissing sound that comes from the bottom mid of the laptop. Sounds kinda like a blown speaker i guess. You can hear the sound after the laptop is completely shut down. Its not loud, only noticable when i place my ear against the back.

    The thing is that, you only hear it when there is a power source connected to the laptop, like either the ac cord, or battery, or both. When there is no power source connected to the laptop like no battery installed or ac cord pluged in, there the strange hissing sound is gone.

    Is there something i should be concerned about? or is this normal?

    My FE does it also, but it's not an issue. Both of my desktops do the same.
