Vibrate and buzzing noise

Is there any way to adjust the vibrate on the Droid1. I just received my 3rd replacement and the vibrate function is so high that the phone buzzes loudly. I use vibrate often in meetings and I cannot quietly change my phone to vibrate or even use the function. It is also loud when the phone powers down. I know that my other three phones were not this loud. Went to the verizon store and they told me there is no way to adjust it but they've been wrong before! I had two replacements during the OTA upgrade so I don't know what the upgrade did - just know it changed a lot of things.

It is usually a loose slider...
2 of my phones have been really loud and they have a loose slider.
The other 3 have a "tight" buzz.

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.

Regza TV 26AV605PG - base required and buzzing noise

I have just bought a second hand Regza TV but it doesn't have a base so I have two questions here:
Is there somewhere I can get a seond hand base?
Are other bases compatible that I can search for - in the UK?
I have a buzzing noise on the TV which wasn't there a day or so ago.
What should I check to see what is causing it.?
I have checked all the connections are in correctly.
It is connected to a set top box, video and Dvd
Thanks in advance for your help

I think with new base will be pretty problematic. I mean I understand your questions but such info about compatibility is I think for Toshiba service because they have all parts number for each part and can say if the certain part can be used on different models.
Try to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or advice. In worst case buy flat wall bracket and problem is solved. Check also eBay. Maybe you will be lucky and find such part.
Buzzing noise. On this virtual way it is not easy to say why this happen. Can you hear it all the time, no matter which external audio/video source you use?
Is some WLAN device or phone placed near the TV?

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.

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...

Vibrating and whirling noise whenever I load a new song?

I just bought a new 30GB video ipod from Costco and I've noticed that whenever I choose a new song, I can feel my iPod vibrating in my hands and I can hear whirling and clicking sounds inside of it. Basically I can distinctly hear my iPod loading the new song. I used to use my friend's iPod all the time, and I don't remember ever noticing this with hers.
So I'm just curious as to whether this is normal or not. If it is, I can deal. If it isn't, I'd like to exchange this for a new iPod at Costco. Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok i had one of the early ipods and i knoticed this noise and knew what it is. Recently i lost mine and bought a new 30gb and its different. (Its the new ones w/ search) When its loading songs on there or a movie is playing and i turn it any way (up, down side or anything) it will stop the hard drive and make a sound like the disc in the hard drive is lose. It stops all progress and take like 5 seconds to start back up doing it until you bump it again. I took it back and got the new one and it does the same thing. My old one didnt and neither does my firends new ipod that has the search option on it also...
Is this a hardware error w/ the new ones because it ***** when your watching a movie... stopping all the time... anyone know what to do or if this is normal which doesnt seem to be the case to me but w/e....

13" MBP - vibrates and fan noise

After a month of perfection, my 13" MBP has started to make a quiet low pitched motor vibration noise: kind of as if a CD was in the drive (there isn't). The whole laptop is vibrating which makes it a little awkward to type on.
The pitch changes when the angle of the laptop is changed - at certain angles the noise stops. The noise progressively gets quieter... after about 30 minutes of use it has gone completely.
It's back when the machine is switched off and switched back on again.
Apple support had no solution - they just made me reset a few things.
Was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar?

Very disappointed with Apple on this one - all the support guy could suggest was resetting the SMC/PRAM/whatever ... or take it to the nearest Apple repair shop - 45 min from here.
In the end I removed the bottom cover, popped the fan out and took it apart - applied a tiny amount of grease and reassembled and reinstalled. Awful fan noise completely gone.

My cd/dvd rom vibrating and making noise sometimes...

im new on mac and im a bit scared about my problem...
some cd and dvd are making so much noise while im burning... i wonder if it damage my imac... im really afraid...

There had been a recent Firmware Update for some newer iMac and other
models, one of the items listed in Software Update (page in Apple Support)
says this item is presented as a cure for one issue; but maybe it does more.
About SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3744
... the SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0
This update will eliminate the noise made by the optical
disk drive during wake from sleep on your Mac.
Whether or not this, or other available updates for your
computer will address your concerns is hard to say. If
you have an issue with the computer and utilize your
AppleCare protection plan (as available in your region)
you may have options by calling them about the situation.
And if the optical drive and computer do get inspected
by someone authorized to handle the matter, they can
make a decision as to what they think is the problem &
what kind of lengths they may go to, if it needs a fix.
The Software Update application in your computer can
look and see what kinds of available software updates
are available for the computer. In the case of a Firmware
Update, there are specific rules on how to install those.
PS: optical media with paper labels should be avoided,
since in a slot-drive mechanism, the label may be off-
centered and make the disc wobble in the drive; and also
the paper labels can cause a disc to jamb in the drive slot.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT1688 my iphone 4 blacked and now it's vibrating and buzzing. Help!

Help!

Hello there, Leezjay23.
The following Knowledge Base article has some great information to help troubleshoot your issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Particularly:
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Intermittent Buzzing Noise

I'm getting a loud, buzzing noise from my G4 DP500 Powermac. The noise sounds like a bad fan bearing and is accompanied by moderate vibration which feels like it's coming from the area of the power supply at the top of the machine. This only occurs when I am using Pro Tools, working on a large session with a lot of plugins enabled, and only after the machine has been in use for a long period. The noise and vibration start very suddenly, and disappear when I restart the machine. Is there a fan somewhere near the top of the machine that would only activate after a long period of intensive use?

It really feels like the vibration
and buzz are coming for the power supply unit. Is
that a replaceable or serviceable part?
I've never run across a power supply that coudn't be replaced Prices will vary depending on what machine you have.
Another thought...
Apple went though a time where they used no screws during assembly - everything was snap-together.
If your machine uses screws, might also want to check and make sure they are all tight.
If, when you touch the power supply itself, the noise stops, mght want to try using some sort of wedge/filler where the power supply contacts the case proper. (I used a folded piece of paper to stop one vibration related noise)

Hard drive and mouse noise over speakers

Hello all,
I have a iMac and just recently have noticed hard drive, mouse and buzzing noise coming over my powered speakers. I have been a home recoding musican for the last 10 years and just recently moved to California. Since I've been here I'm now hearing all of this unwanted hard drive, mouse and various other noises coming thru my powered speakers. Even turning down my speakers to 0, having a deadicated power strip/noise surpessor on ALL of my devices, im still getting these noises. Like moving the mouse you hear staic thru the speakers.
Any idea where to start looking into this problem? Need a solution as this is killing me.
thanks for your help in advance.

I hope this helps...
I also had a problem with fan noise. It not only creates more than normal noise, but i notices a difference in my battery life... it was really bad.
Well after using istat pro i notices a activity that took up about 85%-95% of my processes.... And stated 'Canon ip5000'.... this was my printer that wasn't attached!
I opened activity monitor to search for this process... i couldn't find it under that name. However, i did notice a printer agent of sorts (i can't remember what it was called).
Anyway, after quitting this process my fan almost immediately went from 6000rpm to 2000rpms and the noise was almost gone! And my battery life that was sitting on 24 mins (after a full charge and 40 mins!!) and then went up to 1hr15mins!
What a difference.
I'm using tiger... and the only difference that remember doing was updating the printer driver... hey presto.
I'm sure that is the issue with a lot of people... that some sort of deamon is running in the back ground and is taking an alwful lot of processor time!!!
Hope this helps!

CD or DVD and weird noise

hi everyone i really need help i am wondering if my laptop is supposed to make a weird noise when i open my computer and there is a CD or DVD in it my mother gets really freaked out adn think it is broken so please help me
Thank You
Tam

Hi Tamara,
When there's a disc in the drive and you wake the computer, the drive will start to spin. If the CD/DVD is slightly out of balance it will cause a vibration and some noise. My CD or DVD makes a vibrating noise explains it.
Put a blank, unlabled CD in the drive and see if the noise is the same. If it is, please describe it a little better.

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.

Ultrabook/Notebook freezing and making loud buzzing noise

I just received via UPS a HP Pavilion 11 x2 PC 11-h010nr for my daughter for Christmas. I decided to let her open it as her one before Christmas present and I am glad I did. She went into xbox music to listen to her new beats audio sound. On about the 3rd song the loudest annoying buzzing noise came out of the screen portion and the screen was frozen (she had it detached from the keyboard). She hit the power button and the noise stopped. She got back into xbox music and about the 2nd song this time it did it again. She started to cry and very upset because she thought it was broke and would take a very long time for us to get it fixed and she gets a replacement. Needless to say her Christmas has just turned into a really bad Christmas. Also today I brought the notebook with me to work to see if the problem continues and as I was putting the song on Pause/Play the noise occured, the screen did not freeze but the noise did occur.

Hello mickeymom44,

When I record a video on my iPhone 4s, I play it back and it has this buzzing noise playing, even when I focus on something while filming, when I play the video back, you can hear when I've tapped to focus, how can I fix this?

Ever since I got my Iphone 4s, I have noticed that when I film a video and play it back, it has this buzzing noise and when im in the middle of filming a video and I focus on something, you can hear a click where I have focused when I play it back, is this the microphone? can I fix it myself? or do i have to take my iPhone in to be properly fixed? Help Me please!!

See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
It's an issue with hundreds of phones. Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone. But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.
