    Hey,

    My power adapter always makes a noise when I scroll or click using the touch pad...it's weird. It's just a little crackling, but my old dell didn't do that.
    Does anybody have this as well?

    Same thing here. Asked for a replacement but still the same. I think just forget it.

    Call Dell and ask them to send you a replacement Brick/Adapter.
