High Pitch Noise from DV6000T

[solideyex]

I've been experiencing an annoying high pitch noise coming from my dv6000t. I looked this up somewhere on notebook review and found that many other customers have been experiencing the same problem.

None of the BIOS updates or RMclock or USB power option solutions worked for me, so i contacted HP support and they're sending me a new harddrive. I need to replace it and return my old one.


I just got this new laptop in yesterday, and the high pitch noise started the second my windows got booted for the first time.

I'm really dissapointed with this.. and am considering to return the whole laptop and to go with another laptop instead. Hopefully this new harddrive is the solution.


Any comments or suggestions on this? Thanks

Have you checked CPU C4 option in BIOS ?
This option should be disabled.

Joining in here to subscribe because I get mine day after tomorrow and will want to report as well.
What Hard Drive did you select?
A good think may be if they send you a clean install unit?

I'll be listening.

Got mine yesterday and there is no whine or any noise. A very quiet machine I have not heard the hard drive yet. I can hardly hear the fan. I ran it for several hours in performance over battery mode all the way down to 23% of battery remaining without any anomalies.

I just bought DV6244US from Circuit City online and got the same high pitch noise, I brought back to the store for return but it will charge me 15% restock fee, so I decided to exchanged a same new one, still got the same issue.
I think the noise came from the harddrive (120GB 5400rpm from Fujisu). It will make the noise after you run the laptop for a few minutes and only when the hard drive is in the standby mode (when the HD indicator is not blink).
I contacted and told HP support online about my theory, the tech person asked me to run disk scan from the Bios (don't waste yor time on this), I did it and the report came out fine.
The HP tech person offer me the replacement of the HD, but I turned down because I think the resolve will be the same.
I'm thinking about replacing the HD with a different brand of HD, to find down if my theory is correct.
This morning I used the laptop on battery for 1/2 hour, but the high pitch noise didn't show up.
I need more time to run more test. I will upload more info whenever I have.
