Anyone hear a strange, faint popping sound from time to time from their NC10? It sounds like a bubble popping and it happens whether or not the computer is muted or not. Anyone know what that sound is, and if it is a potential hard drive problem? Under the windows administrative tools, event viewer, I see no hard drive errors.
i would suggest to use hd tune or speedfan as speedfan can give u pretty much everything you need to know about the stae of your hard drive.
Yep, I too have noticed this in the beginning… It is just the Fujitsu hard drive noisy issue…. Many others have reported this with Fujisu hard drives. Funny thing is, now I do not hear it anymore since I wiped drive and loaded Windows 7 on my NC10.
Yes, I have the Fujitsu. Thanks for the responses. By the way I installed speedfan and all it shows me is the hard drave and a few other temperatures, right?
Mine makes that weird popping sound too every so often, but is a Western Digital according to Speedfan. Odd
I finally got my sammy back from samsung with a new hard drive – Samsung. What a difference from the Fujitsu ….
Currently I am doing a full system backup to my external hard drive and the transfer speed is 5.4MB/s !
There are two spring loaded clips that keep the battery in place. If you move the machine and catch one of these – when it clips back into place later, it can make a popping sound.
It’s not that. You don’t have to move it to hear it and its definitely the hard drive. If that bothers anyone I recommend sending sammy back to samsung for hard drive change. I did that, they changed the Fujitsu hard drive to Samsung and the problem was solved.
Yes – same here got NC10 yesterday and there is a metallic popping noise occasionally from harddrive area. It does not occur when the hd is in use – generally a few moments after it has come to rest. Its a minor problem on an otherwise superb machine. Have been using a S101 which is as silent as they come – I was at one point hoping to switch to a ssd HD when i decide what size i need.
Used speedfan and all is showing as okay.
Fujistu HD.
Is this really something to be worried about?
