    So,my x11 makes strange whistle-like noise from charging plug.When noise appears,then charging disappears.Some seconds go by and all be same as before.What could be wrong? Charging plug has chiped off from its plate ?

    Sorry for my bad english...

    Is the noise coming from inside the computer or the power supply?

    My suspicion would be that a small capacitor or coil is getting loose.

    It comes from the plug where power supply goes in.If i move wire a bit,then noise disappears.

    If you mean the socket where the plug goes into the computer then I wonder if the socket is becoming disconnected from the board inside. This is a not unknown problem with older computers because the socket gets stressed by the power cable.

    Checking and fixing the problem may mean completely dismantling the computer, which is unlikely to be easy.
