if it was the fan it wouldn't be in short one second spurts separated by
two seconds of quiet right? a fan would be doing it for longer periods
right?
it does seem to be connected to high heat...but i think getting very hot
is typical for tibooks and the noise doesn't seem to be coming from the
area where the fans are. as a matter of fact i am not sure i have ever
heard the fans run...maybe they don't and that is the reason ??? i guess
i could put some tissue paper in front of the holes and see if the air
is stirring.
