[PB] powerbook buzzing

[Marco]

Gosh...I'm  currently experiencing your very same problem!
Turnig the ibook at a particular angle makes it makesa medium-pitched  
buzzing sound...
If it's not the hd failing, then it'll be the cooling fan. Or..at  
least, it's what I fondly hope!

Please, please help me!
