Hello all,

Even though the Dell depot will send someone over on Tuesday to pick up my laptop and have a look over it and possibly replace a few parts (although I don't have any hopes about them fixing it as their technician seemed rather clueless about it), I was wondering if any of your tech experts might have a few pointers for me regarding what part of my hardware might be causing the problem described in this thread here:

Now, my Dell Inspiron is not a 6000 but a 9400 and the only thing I have in common with that poster is the noise issue. The link is provided for you to have a listen at what I am hearing (mainly when running M2TW but also at times when just browing the web at a lower level).

My rig:
Dell Inspiron 9400
Intel Core Duo 2 T7400 2.16Ghz
2GB DDR2 666 (333Mhz) RAM Nanya Technology
955XM/945GM/PM/GMS/940GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller
256MB NVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS (OnBoard I think)
160 GB Samsung HM160JI Hard Drive
SigmaTel 9200 Soundcard

Thanks!
