| 433840 | 2006-02-25 23:38:00 | Seriously! As I'm typing this, there is this loud squeaky noise (like someone in pain) coming out of my laptop... I believe its from the hard drive compartment... Sometimes it just came and go, sometimes it lasts for hours. The only way to get rid of the noise is to gently press at the areas which the noise come from (sometimes work sometimes dont). Or just turn the laptop upside down... The laptop will be working very slow (or sometimes hang) when the noise is there.... Anyone know what is wrong with my laptop?? Please help... |

Pressing gently anywhere on a Lappy is not recommended It's probably a cooling fan seizing I'd do something about it before it squeaks no more Unless you know a fair bit about pulling Lappys apart I wouldn't recommend you have a go at it yourself |

It's no longer covered under warranty... The thing is...the noise is coming out from the hdd.. |

If it seizes while being used, there is little chance of saving any data on the the drive without spending a whole lot of money |
