dear me, another problem with my dm1. my dm1 keep making those weird noise. with my unscientific troubleshooting (placing my ear on keyboard and listening). i found out these noise come from the right side, the hardisk side. this is quite scary, is my hardisk dying now sad.gif ? oh HP... sad.gif

anyone with this problem?

hi dm1, i would like to confirm that your dm1 did not create this demonic sound from your hardisk when you use it. i took the laptop to the service centre and they say it is normal and refuse to fix it. now the sound is getting louder and sometimes theres a loud scratch. my dm1 is using 500GB Hitachi HTS545050B9A300

or maybe someone kind enough to record a video of their dm1 for me as a prove that mine is broken? cry.gif

mine also sometimes got that kind of sound...  sweat.gif 
especially when i'm using it more than 24 hours...
and yeah...the sound does appear even when mine only about 1 week old
that why i decided to purchase HP CarePack 3 years warranty just in case something "bad" happen...  tongue.gif 

p/s:
so far nothing "bad" happen to mine 10 month old dm1 except for some BSOD cause by graphic driver i surpose...
and also maybe because dm1 use hitachi HDD..
