IPod got washed... Weird sound from area of lock button.

Ok, so a few days ago, I accidentally washed my IPod 4th gen in the washing machine. *facepalm...* I only got it out after a 45 minute wash. Blindly hoping it still worked, I attempted to turn it on. (Hold power button, press home...) Screen stayed black. Then I went to look on the forums. A lot of people suggested to put it in a rice bag for a week. Problem is, I don't have a week. I'm leaving for a 2-week vacation in 2 days... =/ Soooo, I took the screen/ glass off. I found some droplets water in there, which I wiped up using a Kleenex. Then, I put it in a rice bowl for the night. Next morning, I put the bowl into the hot California sun for 3-4 hours. Finally, I decided to test it. *Gulp!* I plugged it in to a wall charger, and after ~30 seconds, I noticed a sound like bacon frying(mmmmmm =D) quietly coming from the location of the power/lock button. When I felt the area, however, It didn't seem like there was heat emitting from it. then, I unplugged it and wrote this post. What should I do now?

  • (weird sound from ipod

    hi,
    1)i jus bought my ipod classic 80g yesterday. but i am facing some problems, can someone help me? well i was was trying to open the games yesterday. but it says error and freezed. no matter what button i pressed, it did not respond so i have to reset it. why did this happen. the ipod is brand new...
    2) the other thing is that when i am using the ipod i can hear sounds coming out from the back of it. the sound is very similar to the computer cpu sound and the cdrom drive sound (but slightly lower in volume). i can't hear the sound when the i am listening to music with the earpiece on(cause the music volume is louder). the sound is quite disturbing. (PS the click wheel sound is off.)
    3) i was charging the ipod with a charger yesterday. its fully charged in less then an hour. after charging, i used the ipod continuously for abt 4 hours and the battery level went down by almost half. what wrong with it? i thought fully charged batt can last up to 30h for ipod classic 80g?
    can someone help? thanks in advance. : )

    1. Not sure. Stuff happens.
    2. Is this just the whirr of the hard drive/click of the heads as it reads data? It should settle down once it has read the file you are playing into memory.
    3. The iPod battery meter is a bit eratic. When charging the display will show full after about an hour which is when the the battery has been fast charged to about 80% of max. charge. To achieve max. charge takes about 4 hours. During playback the level of the charge displayed seems to vary up & down depending on what you're doing so I don't pay it too much attention. Battery life will depend on how much time the screen is active - e.g. playing videos, backlight timeout settings & brightness, how much you use the menus etc. I haven't yet managed to make mine run out before I get home at night...

  • Weird sound from MacBook Pro 2011

    I have a weird sound that occasionally occurs from my Late 2011 13" MacBook Pro. The sound comes from the left side of the base, towards the hinge. The timing is random, usually when sitting by itself idle with the lid open. It has occured when the charging cable is both connected and disconnected. Performing a restart does not cause it to stop, it will continue thru the restart. Shutting down completely does shut it up, but it'll likely appear shortly after booting up. Closing the lid of the MBP will shut up the sound, and if left closed for a couple hours, the sound doesn't appear for awhile.
    The sound itself is pretty loud, and can easily drown out my TV when it kicks in. I don't think it's the fan, as I've heard the fan on full tilt and it's still quiet, unlike this noise I am referring to. Plus, the fan is located in the center against the hinge, not on the left where the noise is coming from. I tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM, no luck. I did record the sound with my cell phone, here is a video of it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgutF9bZilI
    If anyone has an idea of what is causing this sound, please help. Thank you.

    Does the sound, or it's basis, interfere with operation of the MBP in any way?  When the lid is closed it is in sleep mode so one would expect the sound to stop then.
    Best thing might be a visit to the Apple store genius bar to have the techs test it.

  • Weird sound from Lumia 820

    Hello, 
    When I do lock or unlock screen, I hear a very low but noticable sound comes from the speaker at the bottom of the phone and then when I close the phone to my ear there is a tiny wheeze for a few seconds. I just want your opinions whether it is a normal thing or is there something wrong. 
    Thanks 

    There is indeed a sound when you do lock or unlock your phone. To turn this off, you can go to Settings - Ringtones+Sound - Scroll down to 'Play Sound for' and untick Lock & Unlock.
    About that wheezing sound, this seems normal to me. Got the same wheezing sound on the Lumia 710 actually.
    If I have helped you in any way, give me a kudos!

  • Weird sound from laptop (GP60)

    Hey, guys! I have a question about my laptop that I'm hoping one of you might be able to answer.
    So I have a GP60 laptop that I bought manufacturer-refurbished. So far, I love this laptop! I'm glad that I can actually do some form of gaming again! But I have a slight hiccup with this computer that kind of concerns me.
    Occasionally, my computer will emit a weird noise. It's very brief, lasting maybe half a second, but it sounds like the weird electronic noise out of Slenderman. Even when I have my headphones plugged in, it will still make the noise outside of them. I don't think its a motherboard issue-- my last computer actually did have a problem similar to this and it really was the motherboard, but the sound and manifestation of this is a bit different. I've opened up my task manager and watched it while I'm doing stuff, and I've noticed a pattern of sorts.
    It will only occur under one of two-ish conditions:
    - If I'm either streaming/playing music [mostly when I'm either using Pandora, Spotify, or the windows music app (NOT WMP)].
    - If I'm playing a taxing game (I play minecraft quite a bit though and it's rarely happened then. However, I was playing SWTOR to test my theory and it started doing it again)
    It may have happened once or twice outside of those circumstances, but I don't really remember. Also, each weird sound is accompanied by a spike in my CPU processing. It'll spike to anywhere in the 75-100% usage range. I haven't really noticed any drop in performance per se, but I'm just concerned that this could be a sign of a bigger problem. I was very hesitant to get a refurb, and I'm concerned that this could be the start of my worst dream come true. I have two theories: it could either be the motherboard (again, wah) or maybe my sound driver... but I have no clue to be honest with you. I would appreciate any ideas/help that could be offered!
    Specs:
    MSi GP60
    Windows 8.1 64 bit
    Intel core i5-4200M
    Nvida GeForce GT 740M/2GB DDR3
    SoundBlaster Cinema/AudioBoost
    Memory: DDRIII (L) 8GB
    HDD: 750 GB

    I guess it's the electrical interference from CPU too, when it switches the state.
    If you're not using Bluetooth or WiFi, disable them as well to see if this improves.

  • Annoying rattling sound of loose power/lock button

    iPhone 5s, 16 GB, iOS 8.0.2
    Dear Apple,
    I am here to report about the annoying rattling sound that is caused because the power/lock button is loose. At first I just decided to ignore it but after 1 month, it is getting very annoying. It rattles everytime I shake my phone. My phone also doesn't feel solid. Example when I tap the back of my phone, it sounded like some parts in there are missing. I am NOT HAPPY and I don't pay RM 2399 for a phone and still face these problems. I would really appreciate if Apple could replace a new iPhone for me as it is getting very annoying and I cannot stop thinking about it!
    Thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You might want to run the Apple Hardware Test first--it's on Install Disc #1 of the grey discs that came with your computer--boot from the disc by holding down"D". Run the extended version. You could have a problem with either a fan or a thermal sensor. Since you are only hearing one fan, it could be that the other fan isn't working and the right one is running faster to try to compensate.
    If you have a fan problem, you will get an error code with "MOT" in it. If a sensor, there will be a "SNS" in the error code.
    You can check on the speed of the fans by downloading "iStatPro" from the Apple Site. If the fans are not running at about the same speed, something is definitely wrong.
    But I do think you should call Apple about this. It does not sound normal to me. The clicking could be the fan bearing going out. It is not a normal sound.
    Good luck!

  • IPod Touch 4g stuck in recovery mode and lock button broken

    A few days ago my lock button stopped functioning, and seeing as I'm not brave enough to try and fix it myself and I haven't been able to take it to get fixed anywhere yet, I just enabled the internal lock button feature and, frankly, hoped for the best. This afternoon I connected it to iTunes because after updating to iOS 6 too many things have been going wrong. There was an error message (I can't remember which one :S) but stupidly I decided to restore it (mainly in the hope that iOS 6 would sort itself out I guess). Once it had finished extracting files, there was another error message, which again I can't remember, but it was something along the lines of iPod cannot be restored basically. Then it went into recovery mode, and I've been unplugging, plugging in, shutting down my computer and all sorts of things all evening. As far as I can tell, the only way out of recovery mode is to hold the lock button and the home button down for thirty seconds ish until the apple logo comes up. Except my lock button doesn't work. I guess I'll just try and get it fixed this weekend but if there are any other solutions that would be awesome! Thanks!

    - Let the battery fully drain and try again to restore after charging for at least an hour.
    - Try on another computer
    - See if you can cycle the iPod in and out of recovery mode with:

  • Weird sound from x201 keyboard

    recently i've found a weird problem with my x201 keyboard. when i press down on the area where the escape key is or around the area where the volume controls are, it will make a plasticy click sound.the sound happens as soon as i let my finger off that part of the keyboard. sometimes when i press that area and let go it takes a while for that part of the keyboard to bounce back up and make the sound. so it sounds like that area of the keyboard stays in place for a while sometimes before it jumps back to the natural position. no i've never spiilled anything on the keyboard. i'm not putting a lot of pressure on that area either. it could happen if i just tap that area of the keyboard. and i've taken the keyboard off but couldn't see anything that could make the sound. any idea how to fix this? is this a problem with the keyboard or the laptop bezel?
    also will lenovo just ship me a new keyboard for free if i ask? what number or email address would i have to contact?

    Hi,
    Yes, they will ship you new one if you share your keyboard issue with them. Phone number can be looked up from this link:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=migr-4hwse3

  • Weird sounds from fan or hard disk?

    Hi,
    I have got my Mac book pro in Nov06 and unfortunately on New Years Eve, i discovered another problem with my 15" MBP.
    When i was tilting it and putting it on my lap, the fan started to have weird clicking like sounds. It last only for a few seconds and did not carry on for more. I don't think this is normal.
    I have heard my fan working and it does not sound same nor does it seem to come from the same position.
    This sound comes from the top left side it sound like a mechanical spring that went loose. I read other forums and they mention it could be is the hard disk it that true?
    Could anyone advise please if I could get this fan to change and fixed?
    Is currently the Apple diligently conducting their quality checks?
    Other than this is the screen. This was fixed now the fan.
    How much more common problems can there be and I should look out for.
    Please advise.
    Thanks you all.
    Happy New Year

    I had the exact same problem. I was using the macbook on my lap and the fans started clicking. It eventually went away as you mentioned. I have not heard it since. I would not worry about it unless you hear it again.

  • Ipod Classic Making Weird Sound

    I just purcahsed a 160gb Ipod and it makes a sound such as a laser or a single firework when it takes off. Here is a video with the exact sound it's making:
    http://ipod-classic-160gb-on-sale.blogspot.com/2012/02/ipod-classic-keeps-making -weird-beeping.html
    I have reset the Ipod to no avail. 
    Is the device defective or is this normal?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply.  I have found other posts relating to the same issue, going back about two years, yet I can't find a definitive answer.  I called the Genius Bar and they had no idea and told me to bring it in for a hardware test (which I might do just to test it).   It would seem they would know, surely they've seen this this before.  So frustrating. 
    I'll go with being normal and just be slightly irritated with the sound.
