    thats it guys, when moving my 1330 around a bit (like picking it up quickly and moving it) there comes a strange sound that is similiar to the sound of a lightsaber or of air being "cut". The sound seems to come from my LED LCD.

    Anybody else with this same strange thing??

    I'm thinking it's your hard drive, specifically the protection that comes with the 7200RPM drives; abrupt movements of your M1330 will cause your hard drive to park when it detects danger from motion. What's your hard drive model?
