Usb short now buzzing noise

Presario S5100NX
Hello, believe I caused a short and now there is a humming/buzzing noise coming from inside the pc. Accidentally touched the micro usb side of a cable to the usb hub, computer shutoff/crashed?, and when I turned it on, that buzzing noise began and monitor displayed the Compaq screen with F1 setup and F10 System recovery options. Both option do not respond. Switched keyboards and F1 & F10 still non responsive.
The noise comes from a small black cylinder, with AC-1205G and a plus symbol inside a circle on it's top side. It is located right next to the port that connects the power button and display lights to the board.
Need to know if there is a reset or a fuse. Is the board possible burnt or bad? Can I repair or will I need to take it to a service center?
Help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The AC-1205G device is a magnetic buzzer. Considering your venerable old PC (10 years now) has given you many years of great service, it seems an appropriate time to replace it. There is no fuse or reset on the motherboard.
It is highly unlikely that you will be able to find a replacement motherboard as they are no longer manufactured. The current value of the PC ( < $50.00), even in good working condition, is actually not enough to warrant investing any funds to have any work done on it.
Best regards,

The strap of my bag broke when my laptop was in it, now it is making a buzzing noise all the time and sometimes get a bit warm. I have warranty with protection plan, how do I fix it?

The strap of my bag broke when my laptop was in it, now it is making a buzzing noise all the time when I am using it. I have warranty with protection plan, how do I fix it?

Take it in and have it assessed. They do not have to know about the bag incident unless the explicitly ask for the specific details (like when you are being questioned by a TSA screener, LEO, etc.). As far as you know, the noise started up and it is getting warm. With luck it is just an unbalanced fan that needs replacement.

Buzzing Noise from (IMAC 27-INCH,MID 2010)

I have noticed this buzzing noise (like crackling electricity of sorts) comign from the left side of the machine out of the cooling vent. I bought my IMAC in 2010 and have not had any problems with it until now. I noticed the "noise" a couple of months back and it would show up here and there every once in a while, it was not annoying, so I let it be. Until this last time, when the noise was loud and annoying, I could not just forget about it. I am under warranty and called into Apple to see what can be done for this problem. I was told to take it into my nearest Apple store to get it looked at, since over the phone they could not do anything about it.
I took it in May 11tt, 2012 and the guys at the Genius Bar were stumped? They had no clue and it was the first time the two gentelmen that helped me heard of this kind of problem! Since there is no moving parts on that side of the computer they escalated the problem "query" to apple engineering and was told it would take a week for a response. Thus far, I have not been updated on my problem or contacted as to the status of my problem. Its been 12 days and will be contacting them to see whats up!
Will update if problem is resolved!
Has anyone had this type of problem?? Any advice would be apprciated!! Thank you

This might seem a strange answer, but it has fixed this fault on my 27" two year old iMac (at least for a few days now, will be monitoring).
I had this very fault suddenly develop last week.   It was consistent, the noise increased with screen brightness, but was also present with the screen asleep.
I looked at every forum on the subject, became almost convinced my fans weren't controlling properly as well.
I decided it was the switched mode power supply, discussed repair options with my local Apple Store.
Checked the household mains voltage - I'm in the UK, it was slightly low at 236v AC, but thats acceptable.
Then ....
We have a garden full of water features and LED lighting.
I just decided to check all our power junction boxes that supply power to various pumps and lighting.
I found one of the boxes full of water, with the Live, Neutral and Earth, and the 12v DC cables all under water and shorted together.   The terminals were all corroded and burnt.
Yet, I had no faults present in the garden, everything was running normally.   And the RCD breaker had not tripped.
I repaired the box, fitted new terminals and rewired the box.
And since I did that, my Mac has cured itself.
I've had it running for hours to get hot, no noise, gone completely.
And the mains voltage now measures 242v AC (should be a nominal 240).
The RCD did not trip because, with all the cables shorted in water, there would no out of balance condition to initiate a trip.
So, I can only assume that arcing or the short was causing some harmonics on our mains supply that was been picked up by the coils in the Mac power supply.
The 12v DC supply in the junction box was also supplied by a switched mode supply.   I dont understand why something didnt blow in the garden, but it didnt.
I'm monitoring the Mac as the solution just seems unrelated.
Oh, and I noticed our Intruder Alarm panel was humming loudly and now it isn't.
So, I would suggest anyone with this issue takes note of any unusual humming or buzzing in any other electrical item within the house, or outside.   It may indicate you have an issue elsewhere.
Even any loose mains plugs in equiment could be causing a slight arcing on the contacts, causing noise on the mains that may be getting picked up.
Coming from an interest in high-end analogue Hi-Fi, amplifiers always performed better with a dedicated, clean, mains supply, usually from a 40 amp rated cable fed direct from your electricity meter to supply your Hi-Fi.
The amplifiers would exhibit less noise and a cleaner sound with more detail.   And the transformers in the power supply were a lot quieter too.
And what do we have today - ethernet tranducers plugged into household sockets, superimposing high frequency signals onto the household wiring.
They would cause havoc with top-end amplifiers, I'm sure.
I hope this is the solution, saves me an expensive repair.
I've never had any problems with the six Macs I've owned in the last 12 years.

Lightened screen and buzzing noise on Satellite A50

Hi there,
I have had a small issue with the screen on my laptop for a few months but its progressively getting worse. Once side of the screen was significantly lighter than the other but you can still see whats going on. As time went on the lightened area has become larger and now its covereing almost half of my screen.
There is also a buzzing noise that sounds like a shorting connector coming from the top edge of the laptop near the hinges. This noise random sometimes staying for hours and sometimes not appearing for hours.
From looking on the forums my guess is its a problem with the inverter but before i but one and start tearing my laptop apart i would like any comments for feedback about this problem to see if anyone else has had a similar issue.
Photo here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2527956/laptopscreen.jpg
Thanks for any feedback everyone.

hi durbs77,
jackpot! 2 parts defektiv!
got no A50 but:
the problem with the screen (halfpart whitend) may be a defectiv cable...
or the lcd (hard to say without testing)
the buzzing sound probably came (as said before) from the inverter...
but hey a jackpot is rare!
is this issue related to the angle you open the lid?
so exchange the display cable first (btw: it is the cheapest of the parts) and look if it works ok then...
only if you have still trouble change the other parts (lcd and inverter)
i make a bet that half the problem is the cable...

HS-950 Buzz noise on CPU activity.

Hey there,
I just bought the HS-950 USB headphones, and I am trying to get them to work on my Windows 7 x64 system. I installed the beta Win7 drivers, yet I still get noise in the headphones on CPU / computer activity (opening directories, scrolling web pages). This sometimes stops, but comes back when I launch an application that uses the microphone (like Skype, Steam, or even the system sound preferences on the Input pane).
Is there anythign that can be done about it?
My system is clean, I have removed all previous drivers, and Device Manager shows that the headphones are running via driver version 1.0.0.640, from Creative, not the built-in Microsoft USB Audio drivers or the old .450 that came on the install CD.

I have exactly the same problem on my HS-1000 USB headphone.
Initially I had Vista 32bit, but I had bought Windows 7 for a different pc but decided I would install it on my current PC(64 bit installation).
Yet the problem still persists.
Also tried the headphones on a Windows XP system and same problem.
Now I live in an old house that doesn't have "grounded" electricity so I tried them on a laptop and same problem persists. To be even more sure I went to a friends house that's grounded and same problem again!
Why did I try this ground thingy, well my guitar amplifyer makes a buzz noise as well when I don't put a copper cable between it and my radiator ( e.g. ground it )
Anyway, to SeregB, I would suggest you contact the store as soon as you possibly can and send it on RMA and try and get a replacement because it seems Creative doesn't know (or want to know) what the problem is.

"Buzzing" noise in Zen MicroPh

I just got an 8GB Zen MicroPhoto. I took it out of the box, loaded up my songs on it and tested it out. Everything seems to be working fine, but I'm getting this buzzing noise whenever I put my headphones in that seems to be affected by my moving up and down through the menu, but is still there even when I am not scrolling. I've tried several headphones and the problem exists in all of them. Is this a known issue?

I now have a new problem. To tried to fix the above issue by going into recovery. I did a clean up, a format, and I reloaded the firmware. When it said reload firmware, I thought it meant "reinstall", but it actually erases it. So no problem, it said I can't update it via USB cable, so I downloaded the firmware from the website. I ran it, but it doesn't detect the player. I've seen many topics about this and there was a solution in one that applied to a different player. The solution was you had to find this one file and run just that one on the install CD, but I couldn't find the file they listed. Does anyone know if such a file exists on my install CD?

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
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
http://www.ifixit.com/
http://www.rapidrepair.com/shop/g4-ipod-parts.html
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)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
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

Broken power board ZIF and buzzing noise

Hey all,
This is my first post on the forum! Thanks so much for providing such a welcoming atmosphere.
I have a GE70 20E laptop that I disassembled recently to do some repairs on, and when I was putting it back together I snapped the little black plastic thing that holds the power board connector in place.
I looked up some guides for the problem and eventually took the ZIF, replaced it as best I could, and held it down with electrical tape. The computer booted and everything was mostly fine. The power and fan indicators weren't lighting up, but I had a functional laptop. Eventually I started hearing little popping sounds coming from that area of the computer that I attributed to a speaker problem because it mostly happened when the volume was high. About a day ago the popping graduated to full-blown buzzing, which scared me.
I went in and reapplied the electrical tape to the ZIF and power board connector and it fixed the power and fan indicators, but the popping remains. In light of that, three questions.
1) Is the laptop safe to use?
2) Is there a more permanent solution I should be trying?
3) Failing that, does anyone have any tips on how to better the electrical tape fix?
Thanks so much for your help!

It's definitely not the speakers! I was using Skype and the buzzing got worse when I starting using the onboard webcam - it's definitely the power board connector. Last night I did some poking around and got the buzzing noise reduced, but I just did it by scotch taping this
over the connector. With that in place the sound works fine, the indicators are working, and the only sign that there's any problem at all is a crackle on start-up that goes away after a minute. Assuming it's stable and it stays functional, should I just be happy with that? I'm worried that taking it to a repair place would cost me a bunch of money I don't have for a fix that's basically no better than what I already did. I'm mostly just worried that the problem will come back now that I've got it working - those connectors seem really precarious.

Firmware 1.1 - What is the verdict - does it fix the buzzing noise?

I've been waiting to hear if Apple has resolved the issue of the buzzing noise with the 2nd Gen Nano. Those of you who have experienced this issue - has the new firmware resolved the problem for you?
I'm not sure whether now is the time to buy or not? I'm interested in the 8GB or 4GB models if that makes a difference however, from what I've read the issue has surfaced among all capacities.

I have said this a couple of times and I say it again...apparently I must be very luck because I did not experience this buzz on the 4gb I had briefly, the 8gb I currently have or the 2 that I purchased for birthday gifts to others. Because so many people seem to have been having this problem I wanted to make sure I didn't buy anyone buzzing gifts so I checked them both out. And apparently, no one that has the issue (solved at this point or not) have been able to get a real answer as to just what the problem is. I think this is also one reason why I don't really like to order my ipods...if there is an issue you can't just take it back to the point of purchase and get a replacement that same day (unless the Apple stores allow that...the closest one to me is about 100 miles away so I wouldn't know!).
Hope something happens soon for you!

Dv7 beats audio makes a buzzing noise or some kind of speaker feed back

when i play music speakers sometimes make a buzzing noise seems to happen more on the bass side

I just installed a Mac Pro for a client. After a while I noticed this buzzing everyones talking about. It was especially bad after I installed two more internal drives. It seemed to come and go with HD activity. I pulled up the lever on the back of the machine when it was particularly loud and the buzzing went away. So like some others have noticed it's associated with the HD bays. I took the side off and adjusted the seating of the drives so they were exactly centered Now the buzzing is gone. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it will need some kind of silicone bumpers where the bay trays are metal to metal.
More research to come.

13" MBP chirping, buzzing noise! anyone else?

Tomorrow is my last day for replacement of my 13" MBP which has chirping buzzing noise around esc button!
Today, I went to Apple Store again and tried to listen the other 13" MBP to make sure that they also have the same noise. And yes, they all have that annoying noise as well...
I really do not understand, why people who has 13" MBPs are saying "Our computers are deadly quite!"

I returned my macbook pro 13", even there was the restocking fee that is $139.
I am happier now, and I do not buy a macbook or macbook pro unless they do solve the all whining problems completely... My 4 years old HP still deadly quite, but needs ram...
see you in the next generations of the "Perfect" mac series...

Buzzing noise when iPhone 4s vibrates

My new 4s buzzes loudly when the unit vibrates. It is not the sim slot or door as the noise exists with the sim and door out of the phone. The buzzing is almost as loud as an audible tone and quite annoying and distracting. Anyone else with this issue?

I have the same problem. Even holding my finger on the bottom right corner eliminates the buzzing noise. I think that the screen could be slightly loose.
I don't mind this when it's in my pocket, but the alarm gives me a bit of a shock in the mornings now.
And I don't really want to exchange the phone, because it's perfect otherwise. I definitely don't want to end up with a faulty screen some of the people here are reporting.

Buzz noise in movies

Hi,
I am new to Apple and iMovie.
My problem: I copied .avi movies from my old windows computer onto my iMac but on all my movies I now have a buzzing noise, i.e. where I added music.
I saved all my finished movies on my camcorder too and tried to import these movies again (Sony DCR PC 100E) into iMovie. In the capture preview the audio is ok. However, when I play the captured clip the buzzing noise is there too.
When searching the forum I saw similar questions, but none of the answers there solved my problem.
Thanks.

Try following:
click the Camera app, slide the photo-movie slider on the bottom right to movie then back completely. Close Camera app, double click home button twice and really quit camera.
If that does not help, do it again, then do a reset: hold both Home and Power button for about 10 seconds until you see the white apple logo then let go.

Hearing some weird buzzing noise

I have a problem. For reason, after I wake up my MBP from sleep, it makes this really weird buzzing noise somewhere from the middle of the laptop. It sounds like something electrical is short circuiting or something. This isn't normal correct? Because if it is, it's really loud and super annoying. Has anyone else had this issue before? It's happening on my 15" MBP, Core 2 Duo, 2.16 GHz. I bought it from Apple store Stonestown, and it's not even 3 weeks old yet.
Should I go see the genius? I don't think he's going to be able to hear the whine/buzz noise since it's always loud there..argh, what an annoyance.

My MBB which is a 2.0 core duo I bought a year ago, has just started making a noise that comes from the same area. Its more like a fluttery buzz. Sounds something that is rotating rapidly and and slightly clipping something--like maybe something is misalligned. Not horribly loud, but very annoying. And it goes away when I turn the laptop completely upside down, which again makes me thing something is just loose. I have been traveling a lot lately and assume that just bumping through airport security etc. might be the problem.
Is this something the apple store could possibly fix on site or does it sound like a drive replacement issue. Also, has anyone replaced a MATSHITADVD-R UJ-857 with a faster one? And if how much will that cost and what are pros and cons?

Tecra R940-S9421 Repeating Beep sounds like a buzzing noise

I have an intermittent issue where the Tecra R940-S9421 will begin a buzzing noise which comes thru the speakers.
I thought I had a hardware issue at first but when I muted the sound the buzzing dissapated.
So I googled the issue and found a fix whereby I must go to Device Manager / View Hidden Devices / go to Non plug and Play Items and uninstall the BEEP entry ---- this has worked for now just hoping it will not come back .....
Is this a known problem with Tecra ? Anyone else with the issue that knows a more permanent fix ?

Look at my other posts I've made about this issue. I am having the same problems. I wish apple would say whether this is a fault or if it is supposed to be this way.
