SaiyaMel Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Here to download video As shown in the clip above,,, my laptop makes this strange squeaking noises as soon as I plug in the power cord, and screen blacks out for about a split second.. I've found it only does this when it's cold from not running for a while - like when I turn it off at night and start up in the morning. It has only recently started doing this. I got it 2 years ago, and I've gotten some pretty heavy use out of it.. think it be time for an new machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its time for a dust bunny exorcism as the fan act like a little vacuum cleaner sucking up whatever loose dust is near. Look up "cleaning laptops" with Google. Maybe it will last a bit longer and if you don't want to do that then I gratefully accept cast off computers.

gunner Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sounds more like a click or tick than a squeak.I would check the hard drive for errors. If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
