VGN-BX540B - random single long beep when on, quiet buzzing noise when off

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hello,

I own a VGN-BX540B. It tends to have a few issues:

1. Screen flickers for a milisecond once in a while. I haven't researched it too much but I'm wondering if its related to the power profiles.
2. I get a random single long beep once in a while when the laptop is on.
3. I hear a very quiet buzzing noise from the laptop when it is turned off. Its coming from the center area. The only way to stop the buzzing noise is to take out the battery. If I put the battery back it, it returns right away.
4. Lower right corner gets real hot when hard drive is working. I think this is normal for this model since its a SATA hard drive.

Laptop holds a charge and runs great otherwise. Anyone have any ideas? When I called in to Sony Support, the guy was clueless and kept improvising and changing his diagnosis everytime I said something else. I am thinking to send in my laptop soon to be RMAed but I worry that they'll send me refurb replacement parts in my laptop. How does Sony usually do it? By the way, the laptop is less than a month old!

Not a sony, this thread just displayed in the "Similar Thread" topics after I posted what was going on with mine.

I own an Asus, dog bit the power chord, i taped it up and plugged it back in, screen froze up with grey streaks. Turned on the laptop via battery power, screen turns black and emits a long beep sound, the beeping will not stop until i take out the battery.

Yep.
