Fix chirping/static in headphones on the MacBook Pro
Authored by: cwa107 on Jan 15, '09 06:26:28AM

I fixed this problem on my early 2008 MacBook Pro by replacing the Fujitsu hard drive with a Seagate unit. It completely removed all noises, static and chirping when using any headphones.

Over the years, I have noticed this trend with Fujitsu hard drives in laptops - I first caught onto this when I owned a Dell laptop that had similar noises. Apparently Fujitsu drives have a tendency to bleed EMI that causes such noises.

My early 2008 MacBook Pro (15", 250GB) drive is a Hitachi, according to System Profiler.
