Hi Jinx,

Have them replace the HDD. It sounds like its spindal is out of balance... and iff this is true it will weare out soon. Another poissible noise source is the power supply.

Good luck

Hans

I got a new Compaq laptop 3 mos ago and after 4-6 weeks, it started making this continuous, annoying WHAAoooWHAoooWHAooo noise. I sent it to Compaq & they replaced the system board, keyboard & palmrest, but they returned it with the noise intact. I returned it again specifically begging them not send it back with that noise. After a week I got my computer back sporting a brand new CPU and the same old NOISE! I think some HEARING DISABLED person must be repairing my computer.
If I turn on radio or tv, I can't hear the noise. But most of the time I'm working & can't concentrate unless it's quiet.
The noise is loudest under the floppy drive, & is almost nonstop. It's taking me forever to write this message because I can't think.
