SL-C860 display buzzing
« on: October 26, 2004, 01:04:22 pm »
I just bought a brand new SL-C860 a few days ago.  When I turn down the display brightness, there is a buzzing sound coming from the display.  It is really slight, and you have to put your ear up to the display to hear it, but this doesn't seem healthy.  The intensity of the buzzing varies depending on the brightness and it only goes away when the brightness at its highest.  Has anyone else noticed this in their Zaurii?

That's normal for minor buzzing.  All the clamshells have it.  Some are more subtle than others
I'm now an iphone user and use my zaurii as serial terminals, perl and shell scripting and when I need 640x480 screens

It from a small transformer that's used to convert the low battery voltage into a high voltage to drive the backlight (that's why it is less noticable at lower brightness). Again, nothing to worry about - beautiful machine isn't it!
Gorgeous C860, 256 Sandisk SD, 1Gig Pretec 40x CF, PDAIR leather case & the really cool retractable iPDA USB sync/charge cable. Powered by PDAXROM BETA 1.

My wish - to have a Command & Conquer style game on my Z! (FREECNC!!!) Simcity 2000 would also be great.
