[P1] iBook problem..

[Brian Fish]

Hi,
 I've been having the same sounds out of my brand new ibook.  I've heard
other people suggest the power reset button before, but I don't seem to see
it on mine.  There is a small hole on the top of the audio jack, but no
actual button.  Do I need to stick a paper clip in that small hole or should
there be an actual button?

Thanks,
 Brian

Hi Joe
I had exactly this problem some months ago. It sounded as though the
hard drive was constantly searching for something. The sound wasn't
loud, but really irritating. I tried all sorts of things - optimizing
included, but in the end I found an article in the Apple Knowledge Base
that suggested using the power reset button (just above the audio
jack). The procedure was, I think to turn off, remove the battery,
press in the button for a few seconds then replace the battery and
restart. It worked perfectly, the noise disappeared and hasn't returned.
