OfficeJet j4680c Constant Noise

Hi, I just installed an Office Jet j4680c on my wireless network and I am using it to print wirelessly.  It seems to be working fine with one issue, when not in use it is making a constant noise.  It sounds like a ticking of sorts and it is really unbearable.  Does anyone know if this is an inherent problem with this particular model?  Perhaps something related to the wireless capabilities?  Thank you for your help.  planb

    How to fix the constant noise in the left corner of the Macbook Air which is connected not with a fan?

    Unfortunately if there are various colours across the screen then you have broken the LCD Screen and it will need replacing. If the colours change when you press the area lightly then this is another symptom that you've broken the screen.
    Sorry to give the bad news!

  • Satellite R630-14J - AC adaptor make high constant noise

    I don't know if this is maybe normal but I think my charger did not make this noise a few month ago.
    I got my Satellite R630 14J in November 2010.
    Since some weeks my charger beeps (a very high constant noise) when my notebook gets charged or even when the charger is plugged in into the computer.
    Does anyone else has the same issue or know if this is a case for the support of Toshiba?
    Thanks for response
    Nicolas

    It is definitely case for Toshiba service.
    Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and explain the situation.
    They will help you with this and in worst case you will get new AC adapter.

  • Constant noise inside upper left of machine

    A constant whirring fan like noise suddenly appeared on my older MacBook Pro yesterday. It seems to come from inside the top left hand corner of the machine. I have spent several hours reading the MANY postings of people have the exact same problem. It is astounding how many people are having this very same problem. I read all the postings, done everything suggested: installed the fan control program, reset the SM whatever, monitored the CPU's in Activity Monitor, I have done EVERYTHING suggested. No one has resolved this issue short of taking the machine in for repair and/or replacement. My machine is older and no longer covered. Since this problem is so widespread and prevelant it does not seem fair that all of us inflicted with this constant noise should have to pay for repair! Why will Apple not resolve this? Anyone? Help!

    OK--so it likely is the fan and not the hard drive. I gather the noise is there all the time and not just when the fan speeds up? It could be something mechanical, like a bearing starting to go out or even some piece of trash that has gotten trapped and is rattling around. Do both fans spin at around the same speed? And does the buzz change with the speed?
    You probably are hearing the fan, but to be sure that the noise isn't coming from the left speaker, temporarily mute your volume to check.
    It may be that the bearing is starting to go, but the fan is still working well enough that you don't get an error code on the Apple hardware test. But bearings usually start going slowly, rather than suddenly as you describe. This leads me to think that possibly some piece of trash got into the fan blade area and is maybe caught between a fan blade and the housing, and is just making noise. If this is the case, it may eventually go away as suddenly as it came. I had a leaf in my truck heater fan that caused a buzz for a surprisingly long time, but it finally broke up and blew out.
    Probably the best course of action is to monitor the fan for a while and try to tolerate the buzzing noise. Check the fan speed frequently with iStatPro to be sure it is spinning at close to the speed of the right fan. As long as it is doing this, it will be cooling your Mac properly.
    If the fan is actually failing, it would be expected to spin ever more slowly and erratically, and at some point in time, you would get an error code with "MOT" if you ran the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test. If this happens, it will be time to have it replaced.
    Good luck!

  • Optical out sends constant noise to speakers

    Hi,
    Is it normal that when I connect the optical out to the surround sound system the speakers produce a constant hissing noise. If I connect any other device with optical out to the surround system instead of the AppleTV, the speakers don't produce this annoying feedback noise. Is this a problem with my specific AppleTV or is this a design malfunction in all AppleTV devices.
    The noise always has a constant volume.
    I have tried connecting it to a different surround sound system, and the AppleTV
    still produces the same noise. It's likely that most people won't be bothered by
    this, but I have sensitive ears and I did expect high quality output from this
    rather expensive device (given the limitations apple has enforced upon it, even though the hardware is capable of so much more).
    Thnx.
    (To bad I couldn't get online support from Apple for the AppleTV, seems
    they only have e-mail service for iTunes store????)

    This is a public update of Lion available since last night.
    No a developer thing.
    Click in your "Apple" menu (top left) and then "Software Update"
    The usual procedure.
    I have left my machine on all night long and the sound is still good and the "SoundStay" app is still runnig fine.

  • I'm getting a LOUD constant noise after reinatlling all

    Hi everyone:
    Oh man, does this feel bad. Can anyone help?
    I had to wipe and rebuild my drive after 9 months of fun with Logic and quite a bit of successful work. After a few months of distractions and general ****, I think I have everything back the way it was (all updates, pro app, etc.).
    Some older songs open and play with no problems, but when I open the recent ones, the Projects on the CD I've been working on for months, and I hit play, I get a deafening noize, a constant buzzy hum, that drowns out the music and rather knocks me off my chair. I haven't had this problem before. Here's what I tried:
    - muting all tracks
    - double checking all clock settings
    - voodoo rituals
    - playing iTunes (same I/O). Works fine
    My system is:
    G5 dual 1.8, 1.25 gigs ram
    OSX 10.3.9 (I like it)
    motu 2408 mark 3
    apogee rosetta 800
    Logic 7.1
    Stylus RMX, BFD, UAD-1, URS EQ's, Waves IR-1 and RenMaxx, Guitar Rig, and a few others.
    Can anyone please help? It's all for naught until this gets addressed. THANKS!!!

    Hi William,
    This sounds initially like a corrupted audio files.
    Although now I read your " all tracks muted" comment and wonder...
    Look at the audio wave forms for the audio files involved, are they normal looking or do they look like a big black block?
    If the latter is true, the audio file has been corrupted.
    (you could try playing the individual files from the audio window as a quick way to visually examine and audition the audio tracks.)
    If you have back-up audio for the files involved, reload the song with the back -up files and try.
    Here's a couple other things you can try to run it down:
    Make a copy of one of the offending files and remove all audio tracks and see if you still get the noise.
    conversly, open a new clean autoload ( that does not make the noise)
    and paste all your audio files (from an effected file) into it and see if you still have the problem..if you do this and it happens, it definitely is the track files..
    Hope this helps,
    Daniel

  • Constant Noise with Wall Charger

    My iPod 5th generation video makes a constant (static?) noise from AppleDesign Powered Speaker while being charged by Apple USB wall charger.
    charger: http://amzn.to/auTS6R
    speaker: http://bit.ly/18bvT or http://bit.ly/bcCToM
    speaker cable: RadioShack
    The noise stops as soon as I plug off the wall charger 16-pin jack from the iPod.
    The noise does not occur:
    - when USB charger is not connected to iPod
    - when USB charger is not connected to the wall (i.o.w. when iPod is being charged)
    - when the speaker cable is connected to my iMac audio output jack.
    - when the headphone is connected to the iPod with or without the wall charger connected.
    Is it a known issue? I doubt it's due to speaker cable.

    the setup is like
    IP Phone------> call manager------> gateway(cisco 1940)------->internet----------> homeoffice router(cisco881)--------->ip phone.
    the home offices are connected over DMVPN tunnels. and the bandwidth is 1 MB for the tunnels.

  • HP Officejet 5740 Scan Noise

    My brand-new HP Officejet 5740 (which has the latest firmware) seems rather grumbly/rumbly when it scans.  It's not very smooth-sounding.  Copying, however, has a less loud grumbly/rumbly sound. 
    5740 owners/users/HP employees: I know sound is subjective, but is this normal?  I don't scan that often and could get used to the sound if that is a "normal" sound, but if it is an indicator of something being wrong...
    (Note: I have also recently been using a HP Officejet 6830, and it is much quieter/smoother-sounding when scanning.) 

    Hey @HPPrinterUser10, 
    Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum.  
    I understand that you're finding your HP Officejet 5740 e-All-in-One Printer to be loud when it scans.  I would like to assist you with this.  
    Is your printer situated on a flat, stable, 'wobble-free' table or desk?  Sometimes printer location can contribute to the overall audio output of regular printer functions.
    I do have access to both of the printers you're referring to and was able to test scan from each.  The sound quality and volume output seemed pretty close between the two units.  If I am interpreting the 'Acoustics' specifications presented in each model's datasheet correctly, the 5740 is rated to be slightly louder.  Click here and here for reference.    
    In your setup, I would only be concerned if the printer's emitting a squealing sound or grinding sound, as this would indicate a potential hardware issue.  
    So, to answer your question more directly, I wouldn't be overly concerned about the sound of your 5740 scanning unless it intensifies or if it's concurrent with a decrease in functionality.  
    I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any further questions or run into any issues - I'm always happy to assist.  
    Have a great day!

    decrease whenever I move the pointer around open a window run a program or whenever there is any
    "activity" on my pc!! I had on older laptop with a SiS sound card in it. I disabled the device in that one and
    installed Extigy and there was no problem with the line in!! So what's happened now?What's wrong?
    Someone pleaaaase help me!! :mansad:

    I don't have a USB mouse connected. There are three USB inputs on my laptop one is used for my USB modem the other one for my Extigy and the other one is free
    So I still havent resolved the noise problem and I cannot record!!!:angry:
    on my older pc I hade my USB modem connected and my Extigy and had no problems so it cannot be the other USB devices messing with Extigy, plus the noise occurs only when I plug my mini jack in the line in of my Extigy and the other end is connected to my KORG.
    So whats going on?

  • Officejet 6700 constant connection problem

    Hello, 
    We have a officejet 6700 in our office. 
    We're using Macbook Pros so I can say the problem is with IOSX
    I tried setting the printer from settings screen and by downloading the related software from hp website. 
    However, everyday we are having a connection problem with our printer. We always get 'Printer not found' error. 
    I need to re-install the printer manually by IP adress (it changes every time we turn it of) 
    I am not sure if I am clear with my problem but it is becoming more and more boring day by day please find me a way to solve this issue. 
    Thanks, 

    Hello there ozge,
    Welcome to the Forums
    I saw your post about your Officejet 6700 losing connection and giving you a message that says "Printer not Found". I have looked into this issue and have found a few things that I would recommend you try to help with this issue.
    First, try troubleshooting by using this guide: The Printer Is Not Found During Network Installation
    Also, try this guide as the printer is not keeping the connection: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
    I hope this helps your printer keep the connection!

  • Intermittent but sometimes constant noise

    My MacBook Air - now 2 years old - has starting making whirring sounds. Fan is the immediate villain I thought of but could it be the Hard Disk - how can I tell the difference? I took my machine into the apple store for a check but they didn't seem to know how to distinguish and the noise in the store was so loud how could anyone diagnose a noise they couldn't listen to? I have ordered a new Fan and Battery (now down to 1 hour which is creditable) but don't want to pay the high fees if it is in fact a HD about to fail. Can anyone help so I am a bit ahead of the apple store when I take my laptop in?

    Mine had the same problem. I took it to the genius bar.
    they first told me that it was a piece of paper probably a sticker hitting the fan blades, but when they opened it up, they couldn't identify the problem and put my hard SSD in a new body.
    Problem solved.

  • Constant noise through ear phones

    Suddenly started getting a droning buzzing noise through the ear phones on my 3GS Seems to be related to the phone itself as goes up and down with volumn control Any ideas?

    Did you check the headphone port for any kind of debris or lint? Did you check the plug and cable of your earphones for any defect?
    Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again.
