Hello again,
My iMac G5 makes a high pitched noise. I doubt it's a fan, because the fans are a low hum or whirring (which can be quite soothing
), but this sounds like... you know when a TV is about to die? It's sort of like that, but a screech.
In December, I had chatted with Apple via the support section of thier site and a technician had told me that I probably had a faulty power supply. I brought it in to be fixed, but the guys at the store told me it was the logic board and/or mid-plane, so they changed that instead and left the power supply intact.
I got it back yesterday (and almost shed a tear because they have had it for almost three weeks now, because I also was blessed with a busted superdrive...) and, after happily plugging it in, i noticed... that it STILL SCREECHES.
The noise seems to change depending on what my screen is displaying... If I adjust the brightness it varies, if my screen goes to sleep it's less high pitched... even if I display a white blank page in Word it seems to squeek at a higher frequency.
Does anyone out there have a lemon of a G5 too? What could the problem be? Sure I could live with it, but I feel the sound is slowly destroying brain cells.
Thanks in advance
