High pitch whine/noise coming from 880G-E45 when PC is off

I just recently built a PC with the 880G-E45 motherboard without any major hiccups except for the fact that my PC makes high pitch whine noise (similar to a charging flash bulb on a camera) whenever it is powered off. When the PC is on and just after the PC is turned off, there is no high pitch whine at all.
From what I can tell, the noise is not coming from the CPU, but the corner of the motherboard where the 3 LED-lit RESET, CLEAR CMOS, and POWER buttons are. I eliminated all other components of the PC by only powering them one by one and whenever the 24-pin ATX power cable is plugged in, the high pitch whine noise would be made.
Is there anything I can do to silence this noise or is this normal for this motherboard? This is a problem since the PC is for my room which is very small and while i can't hear it during all the activities of the day, in the dead of night, it is loud enough to keep me awake. The only shorthand solution was to switch off the power on the PSU (BTW, will this damage my PC if I do this too much?).
Here are my specs:
-AMD Athlon Phenom II X4 840
-880G-E45
-BIOS: A7576AM3 V3.10
-Samsung 1TB sata drive
-Corsair CX430 V2 430w
-Kingston HyperX Blu 4x2GB
-Win7 x64

Quote
I'm guessing the power being output by the PSU is too much.
Nonsense, the PC will only draw as much power from the PSU as it needs, not the other way around.
Evidently, the CX430W is somehow faulty. Contact your retailer, or Corsair directly, and see if they will replace it for you.

High pitch whine noise from speakers and other issues

I just got a 2010 Mac Mini and transferred all of my data and apps and accessories from my old Mac Mini which was running 10.6.4 (2007 I think). One of the accessories is a Griffin Firewave. I had to get a new firewire cable to attach the Firewave since the new Mac Mini has a firewire 800 port. On the old Mac it worked great, I was able to run 5.1 speakers with no problem. With the new Mac things aren't so nice. I get a high pitch whine through the speakers. The whine will go up and down in volume with the volume control on my sound system (Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra) as well as with the Mac volume control. I can increase the gain in the Firewave app which will increase the volume of what I want to hear without increasing the volume of the whine, however it will cause the audio I want to hear to distort. The other issue I have is that when I put the Mac to sleep it seems to cut all power to the firewire port, causing the Firewave to turn off and lose its settings. I believe this to be a bad design on the Firewave's part but the old Mac did not shut off the power to the firewire port when going to sleep so this was not an issue. So my questions are, does anyone else have problems with external sound cards having a high pitch whine noise and is there a way to prevent the firewire port from turning off when the Mac sleeps?
BTW, I have tried reinstalling the Firewave driver (several times) and I've unplugged and re-plugged the firewire cable at both ends. I have both the Mac and the sound system plugged into a line conditioner so I doubt it's dirty power. I do realize that the Firewave only claims support up to 10.5 but it was working without issue on the old Mac Mini on 10.6

I have the same problem. I have an early 2009 Mac mini and get the whiny noise from my powered speakers. The volume of the whine noise tends to change smoothly up or down, and often does a stuttering effect along with it. It stays there for up to a minute or so and then eventually goes away. It always seems to happen at random times.
I've heard this same sound effect coming from a podcast that I was listening to on my iPod Touch. It seems that the interviewer was recording from a Mac mini as well, though not sure. The sound in the recording was exactly like what I hear coming from my Mac mini. I often thought that this was a problem with my speaker system, but was surprised to find that others are experiencing the same kind of issues.

I have a very high pitched constant sound coming through my monitors when my iMac 2013 is plugs into my audio interface (Komplete Audio 6) this doesn't happen with when using the same set up but with my macbook powering the interface

Hi i was wondering if anyone could help me out with regards to this high pitched noise- i am assuming its coming from the imac as when i swap that with my laptop in the exact same setup all high pitched noises are gone.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated its actually driving me a bit mad now
Thanks

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

High Pitched Intermittent Beep coming from brand new mini

This is driving me nuts, beeeep.....beeeeeep...beep...beep.. beeeeeeeeep. non stop from the moment on turn on the mini. is this normal???
1.83, 1 gig of ram

If you are within the free 90-day telephone support period I would just call AppleCare, and have them sort it out.
Alternatively, try booting from your install disc (but don't install!) and see if the Mini beeps when just sitting at the first install screen.
To boot from the install disc, insert the disc, shutdown, startup, and hold down the C key at the startup chime -- and keep holding it until the "gear" starts spinning on the screen.
You could also do the same, but hold down the D key, to run the hardware diagnostic tests.

MacBook Pro Retina making a high pitched whine?

So 2 weeks ago I bought a 13" MacBook Pro Retina. I noticed a high pitched squealing noise coming from the rear left of the laptop (around the 'esc' key). It's definitely not the fan. The noise stops almost immediately after putting the computer to sleep. Messing with the brightness of the display/keyboard changes nothing, nor does messing with the sound volume. Just wondering if it is something to worry about...paying $1,200 for a faulty machine is quite sickening...haha.
Also, on two occasions I noticed a clicking sound coming from what seemed to be the right speaker. I don't know if that could be related.
Thanks!

i actually have the same problem but dont know how to fix it
its annoying.

DV6T 2005tx high pitch whine..

Hi, I just bought a new DV6T 2005tx (i7 720QM) and there is a constant high pitched humming noises emmiting from the unit while it is idle, any decent processor load still stop the humming. Is this a common annoyance or is my unit faulty? Any help in fixing it would be very appreciated. Thanks, Michael

Hi, I know it's been a long time since this was started but no one's come on board.
I have a similar problem with my DV6 3032 TX which is only a couple months old.
The extremely annoying noise is basically always there when the computer isn't really working, like while I'm typing this, but for example if I watch something on youtube, it goes away. The sound is like a intermittent high pitch noise (always the same pitch). It's kind of like morse code in the way it comes in long beeps and short ones. It seems to be cpu related e.g. if I hold down a letter key as I type something, it 'clicks' with each time the letters comes up on the screen. The noise is heard the loudest from the bottom of the laptop at the centre, where the cover is, with the vents
I've read similar stories on here about high pitched noises but all seem to have different cases and situations.
Does your situation sound similar to mine?

IPod making high pitched buzzing noise

I've had my iPod over two years now, maybe three but it's always worked and hasn't had any problems. The other day I connected it to a cheap second hand Pod station that a friend had been lent. The pod station wouldn't play my iPod and nothing much happened so I resolved that my iPod was just too old to work on it and took it back out again. When I tried to turn on my iPod afterwards it wouldn't do anything so I thought that the battery had probably just been drained out and it would be fine when I took it home and connected it to my computer.
However when I did so the iPod did not appear on the desktop or in iTunes and the screen remained blank. I kept trying but the same would continue to happen and I began to notice that now whenever I plug in the iPod a very high pitched buzzing noise comes from the iPod which scares me a little as it's so unusual. I have tried resetting and pretty much all of the suggested solutions on the apple site and in other discussions but none work. Nothing seems to work and the iPod does absolutely nothing. Is there anything at all that I can do or does this mean that my iPod has simply finally had it?
I wouldn't have thought that just a cheap Pod station would be enough to cause such a major problem with it.
Any help would be very much appreciated please!

If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

Fan noise coming from the macbook air, and battery won't charge?

Brand new laptop and now there is a very loud fan noise coming from the computer when i opened it up this morning. I also noticed that there was no battery symbol in the top right corner, so i plugged it in to charge it but the light on the charger wont turn on so its not charging? What do i do? Thanks

High pitched whine from netbook when power is plugged in. Does not charge when computer is on.

I have a specific power / charging issue On HP Mini Netbook 210-1077CA. Windows 7 starter ( I think)
With the computer OFF ...
When I plug in the power it gives a high pitched whine. Red battery light is on, showing it is charging. (computer is off.)
To test the computer I have turned in on after charging for a little while and the % of charge is increasing. Showing that it is charging properly.
HOWEVER,
With the computer ON
The battery light turns white and does not stay on, but flashes periodically. Its not a constant flash but a pause of several seconds between a series of flashes. The manual indicates a Flashing Battery light seems to indicate either going into a sleep mode because there is not enough battery power (however my power is at 14% normally this happens I think at 10%) OR as the manual indicates there is a problem with the battery.
I removed battery, removed power plug and then pushed power button holding for 15 seconds. No change in behaviour.
I also tried to boot the computer with just the power plug in and no battery. But it would not turn on. I don't know if that is normal or not?? Interestingly the White battery light, while trying to turn the computer on without the battery stayed white no flash. (but did not turn on either as I mentioned.)
I read a few posts that say that the whining are Capacitors doing some sort of harmonics. Although I have never heard this sound before.
Im sure that this problem is not fans or heat sinks etc. Since in only happens when the computer is off and charging. In my opinion its definitely electrical. The sound seems to be coming from the center of the netbook or the battery area..
So my conclusion is ...
1. Battery has problem and needs to be replace,
2. Maybe the AC adapter is bad, since it doesnt boot w/out battery (if it is suppose to ??) Also since it seems when I turn it on it goes from Red charging to white flashing as soon as it starts to boot. Could it be the AC adapter is not giving out enough power to charge and to boot at the same time.
Anyway can anyone help me on this issue. Im not sure whether to start by getting a new AC adapter or new battery. I would not like to buy new both and just throw money at it.
Maybe it is not either???
You help would be appreciated.
Regards.

I have resolved the problem.
I replaced the AC adapter. Everying works find now. I tested runing the computer without the battery, and it works. So I might add that a possible test for an adapter that is not functioning properly is to try running it w/out the battery. If it does not run its possible that the ac adapter does not work.
Thanks.

A high-pitch whine from a KM2M?

OK, this is REALLY upsetting me and I figure someone out there might be able to help.
I bought a KM2M combo motherboard from a local computer shop about 3 months ago. I was using an AMD XP 1900+ w/ 192 megs of pc-133 memory.
Well, I upgraded a few things and here's my current list in my rig:
KM2M Combo mobo
AMD Athlon XP 1900+
Cables Unlimited Super Quiet "whisper" cooler w/ copper core (it dropped my cpu down from 104F to 84F!!!)
8x AGP PNY Nvidia GeForce 5200 Ultra w 128 megs ddr memory
512 megs(2x 256) Paired ULTRA DDR pc2700 dual-channel memory
92.6 Gigabyte Hitachi Deskstar ATA-133 hard drive with hard drive cooler attached
8x Lite-On DVD-+R/W drive
2 80mm high-flow Speeze brand case fans
300 watt ULTRA Power Supply w 2 blue LED 80mm cooling fans
Scorpion see-through yellow IDE & Floppy cables
Well, after a few changes, my mobo starts to make this REALLY high-pitched whine! Well I thought it might be the PSU or heatsink, so I go through EVERYTHING and NOTHING is making this sound! I even tried changing memory & power settings in the BIOS, but no luck.
Well I set up this exact setup on a chaintech mobo and I get NO shrill sound whatsoever! (proof it isn't something outside of the mobo)
Any ideas on how I can fix this? I would take it back to the computer store & get it replaced but my dog chewed up the box it came in a few weeks back so I can't take it in to get it switched out...

That is a fine set of stuff you have. The PSU also has a fine name, but what ampères does it give on 3.3, 5 and 12 volt? Try to localize the sound, for example by holding your hand to a device - not a fan! - and see if it is a bit loose, cause it sounds like something is loose, the Northbridge heatsink or a capcitatior, as you say.
Elsewhy, follow the thrilling development in the thread suggested by Osnavi.

H67MA-E35 (B3) emitting high-pitched whine/chirp

I am getting a high-pitched whine or chip coming from the bottom left area of the CPU/Heatsink. It isn't the fan, as I have stopped the fan and it still makes the noise. I was also able to correlate the vcore voltage with the noise. The noise is only present while the vcore is below 1.000v. After throttling over 1.000v it goes away. I am using a i5-2500k. I am not overclocked anything and made very few changes to the Bios (just boot order and things like that).
Is this a problem with the socket, northbridge, or some other part on the board? Or is this a problem with the power supply not supplying the right kind of voltage? Or is the computer throttling too low? Like how a car doesn't run properly if idling too low?
Thanks in advance,

No, this is a very common issue with chokes since a choke is very similar to a buzzer or speaker coil so if it's a bit loose, it can vibrate and emit high-pitched sounds. It will not damage anything by itself so if you can get it to stop using settings that are otherwise safe then there is no need to worry about it.
- D
I believe this is more common with iron chokes. The ferrite chokes used on this motherboard are far less likely to buzz. I did look at the board photos and it looks like the CPU PSU is standard FET transistors. Hmmmm.

IMac High Pitch Whine

Hey
I have this iMac that I've had since Oct last year. Recently I've noticed that it has a high pitch whine.
I can't figure out were about from the iMac it's coming from as when I get closer I start to hear fans (ear right next to it)
But maybe the top left corner.
I haven't used any fan control programs, and my temps and fans speed are all good by iStat.
I haven't got 10.5.2 but .1
I leave my mic off, brightness near all low, sound low unless listening to music.
Please help as my iMac is in my bedroom and I can hear this whine like a muted TV, but coming from my iMac
Thanks

I have the same problem and am trying to find a solution. I have an intel iMac Alum 20" 2.0ghz, 2gigs Ram, Radeon 2400XT, 250 Gig HD. The noise started after about three days of ownership. I have this for almost two weeks now. I cant find any solutions and have talked to Apple over the phone they suggested taking it to an Apple store and let them take a look at it, but I live an hour away from the nearest store, so this is a pain. But yes, the whining is annoying and loud at times. It whines for like 1-2 seconds going from a low pitch to a high pitch in those 2 seconds. It then stops and comes back maybe 20 seconds later. So thats been happening for about a weeek now.
Then all of a sudden early this morning (4AM), while the computer was in sleep mode, I was awakened by that same high pitched sound, but it wouldnt stop, I had to get up and turn the computer off. I would definatley love to get some answers and have this fixed. I've read many posts now with people having similar experiences. Just want my precious fixed.
Nothing has helped ie; turning the sound down, muting it, turning off my internal mic, messing with sound options.

Certain iTunes "matched" albums produce high pitched whine after downloading the "matched" version?

I have been begun using iTunes Match and I have encoutered a problem. After importing two of my "Stargate SG1" soundtrack CDs (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stargate-sg-1-soundtrack-from/id28057422 and also http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/best-stargate-sg-1-soundtrack/id285158287), a very noticeable high pitched whine is heard during playback. This is not a problem with my macbook pro as the downloaded file on my iPhone makes the same noise. What is up with these tracks? Is there something I can do to fix it? These copies that produce the high pitched whine were the files directly downloaded after the match (so I could enjoy the higher bit rate). What's going on?

I called Apple today to get my 24.99 back! This has been the worst exprience I have ever had. At first I was excited that almost all my songs were matched. I figured I would be able to upgrade the 128 to 256. YEAH OK!!!
What it did was give me all radio versions of my hip hop music not to mention stuff like korn. I couldn't handle it anymore. I decided that I would feel a whole lot better ripping them all over again at 256 myself

High pitch whine in 23-g116

Band new computer and there is a constant high pitch whine coming from within the all-in-one computer. Have ajusted settings to power saver and no change. Any suggestions on how to correct. Very annoying.

Hi Gary,
It might very well be that a piece of an electronics circuit is causing the whine. Your ears may be more sensitive than others but this issue has occured with other PCs. Your PC is under warranty so I would contact HP Support. I know some PCs have been replaced due to high pitch whines.
HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.

X-Fi Fatality Pro High-Pitched Speaker Noise, No Sound or Tinny Sound Win

Hi all,?Perhaps this is premature but... I've had the X-Fi FPS for about three weeks now and everything was working fine until about a week ago. Here's the problem: Upon cold start of loading?XP there is either no sound and/or high-pitched noise coming from my 2. speakers, or just horrible tinny sound with the volume cranked. If I reboot, sound works perfectly. If I do another reboot, the sound will resort back to the noise/tin, etc. or perhaps it might be ok. Same issue with the?IO?card. I've reinstalled the drivers, but that didn't help the problem. Currently in PCI slot 3... I haven't moved it to 4 but will do so tonight and do a clean install of the software. I was cleaning out the dust from the internals and used a "Dust-Off" type product inside of the case...is it possible that the card "froze" and is now itself unstable? I've run the creative diagnostics and says everything is fine. Perahps it's just a system?issue. I plan on doing a full system wipeout and reinstall as well but wanted to see if?this situation is a known issue. -Dell XPS Gen 2-3.2ghz; 2gig Ram-ATI 9800XT (AGP, also takes up PCI slot )-Linksys Wireless G Network card (PCI slot 2)-X-Fi (PCI Slot 3)-Ultra Firewire card (PCI slot 4)-SATA HDs-LITE-ON?

To add to this, i tried to switch to driver version 2.8.003 but i still suffer from the same problem.
Does anyone face a similar problem?
