i think what u meant is the whinning sound of the intel core 2 duo. I thin this only happen for dell xps laptops. I didnt see this with the HP pavilio notebooks...

its normal at night if u here an *eee...eeee...eee* sound.. even most of the xps that come into my hands have such thing..
*
yes, i just read the previous post....something eee...eee...eee
so i ask my aunt to return it to dell or got any solution? i scare mine one also like that...coming on monday

well if u return it, they will change for u a refurbish motherboard and the issue might not be solved as well. XPS produced on 21st Feb 2008 also suffer from the whinning sound like mine. but dell kinda have no solution for this..

i think dopod would be able to advise on this much further since he went all the way to get his motherboard revised by dell USA if im not mistaken.. give him a pm though...

so u just leave ur xps with whinning sound without fixing it?

Guys,

Anybody got problem with palm rest heating up.
Any way to measure whether the heat is abnormal?
So far, I can feel the heat but not too sure whether it is normal or abnormal.
*
sure got heat one...if not, abnormal already. even fujitsu, sony, thinkpad also got heat but less...
don't expect dell quality better than those good quality notebook like the brand i mentioned...

i don't know what brand, but it tick tick every 2-3 seconds. it not the harddisk reading sound coz the tick sound there when there are no blinking

damn fedup, just refund lar...i think i spend another rm500-1000 to buy better quality lar

seale_navy, i really don't know y u still can tahan with that kind of problem. Notebook is important to me coz it help me generate income and everyday i use almost it 10-12, for working, surfing, listen music and watching video.
