Here we will get a little bit technical. The power supply which drives the screen also powers the PCMCIA socket. It buzzes in proportion to the amount of current it is delivering. Using a high-drain PC Card device such as a 28.8 modem will cause it to buzz louder, therefore, than it does when no PCMCIA card is installed. The loudness of this buzz is machine-specific. If it’s too loud, you might want to have it checked out by HP or Times2 Tech. It’s just not right for that small of a power supply to be making that much noise.
