Does it go       away during scan when the box is muted?              It's most likely a transistor. Without test equipment you can often       narrow it down by temperature. Most noisy components are noisier when       warm. Get a can of freeze spray (or computer duster, just turn it       upside-down) and give a light spray to each transistor during operation.       The one that causes the noise to go away or drop substantially is the       culprit.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
