ibm thinkpad t40, ac-adapter noise

nabla

question to all thinkpad owners:

does your ac-adapter (the external one) also make a stange noise ??? :?:

when connected, it sounds like a vibrator or so

i googled for it and found some people with the same issue, but now i wonder how many of you have this problem.

thanks,
cu nabla

btw: i have an european ac-adapter (240V~ to 16 V-)

The ac-adapter i have for my R31, doesn necessarily make a vibrating noise, but i does have a high pitch sound that comes from it from time to time... not sure if the vibrating isa good thing

no noise here and no vibration, are you sure its your AC Adapter and not your mothers l33t IBM Vibrator? :)
To make sure sit on it, if it makes you happy then you should go to your mom and ask for your AC Adapter back. ;))

scnr,

In our class there are several IBM notebooks (including 3 t40p) and none of them has a vibrating AC Adapter. Under circumstances (compiling and charging battery) the AC Adapter has a high pitch sound.

You should change your adaptater, and quickly !

i've got a couple TP600E motherboards that buzz when plugged in. they won't even boot anymore. haven't had that problem with an adapter itself yet.
