Don’t say the noise is coming from CPU, Cooler, or Fan, whatever.
I’m pretty good at handling computers, and I’m 100% sure the noise is not coming from those.
It was several months ago when my warranty was alive. Laptop itself was very quiet, but my ac adaptor was making that weird noise.
So I’ve contacted customer service and they sent me a new AC adaptor, guessing that the AC adaptor had the problem. I replaced my original AC adaptor with the new one, but it was making the same noise.
So I told them the problem hadn’t been fixed, and they told me to update my laptop’s bios version. So I did, and still the noise was there.
I could even hear the noise when I plug my earphone or headset into my laptop.(noise is not coming from the laptop, but from the earphone, or headset)
Also, I bought external speakers yesterday from Wal-mart(it’s USB Powered, not AC Powered), and still the speaker was making the same noise.
To test, I tried the speakers with my desktop(that haven’t had any noise problem before), and it worked fine without any noise.
Only when I connect some output hearing devices to my laptop, it makes the weird noise.

Could anybody give me a solution??

(My warranty has been expired...):confused:
