10.4: Avoid a noisy hissing problem on MacBook Pros
Note that this is not a universal fix, although it has been reported elsewhere. For instance, this does nothing on mine.
10.4: Avoid a noisy hissing problem on MacBook Pros
The screen noise is a bad power inverter. Apple knows about it (according to Apple Discussions) and will repair it. The cpu cycling is fixed by PhotoBooth, Mirror Widget etc because it keeps a more even (power hungry) load on the cpus, opposed to running the cpu, powering it down, running it, 1000 times a second. I guess some cpus are more sensitive to this (or the switching power supply to the cpu)
10.4: Avoid a noisy hissing problem on MacBook Pros
I have problem #3 and the camera on trick doesn't work for it. I was told by an apple store 'genius' that it is probably a bad power inverter and that I should have my machine considered DOA and he gave me a fedex label to send it back and that they would send me a whole new machine (who knows if it is going to fix the problem... I'll just keep sending it back until it does). There is a ton of people talking about this on the apple discussion forums so it is a really common problem. Can you say brand new hardware? =)

So I've had my MBP for over a week now and never noticed any hissing until reading this little "hint".

Cancel that - noise #2 disappears when using Photo Booth, or when disabling one of the processors. Noise 3 is still present. |
