    Hi, I've noticed when I take my D620 off AC power when its on the desk, a funny beeping noise is emitted from roughly where the HD is (only just audible but enough to be annoying), but when I plug it disapears. Also its less noticeable when on my lap and not plugged in. Interestingly when I scroll with the trackpad along the side (I set that function) the beeping stops, but only whilst I scroll and continues when I lift my finger, also this 'problem' only seems to happen when the system is idling, or the hard drive is not busy.

    Any ideas?
