Anyone here know the turn around on laptop repairs ? My new laptop (almost 3 months now) speakers are making this really loud buzzing sound. Ideally I would like them to go out back and just give me another of the same model, but I have the feeling they will take mine for about 2 months and perhaps give me a refurbished laptop as a loaner. I called Toshiba and I got some uninterested early 20's girl who just did not give a shit and was rude with me the whole time. "Sir keep turning the volume knob on the laptop" "It's not stopping" "IT WILL SIR KEEP TURNING IT" (it doesn't stop turning BTW, it's one of those crappy on board realtek software sound cards). Any advice or stories related to this ? Future shop is a Canadian appliance franchise here in Canada. |

not the onboard speakers? just your output? or both? how bout headphone out? does everything have digital distortion even when you have the level in your media player very low? down load the latest drivers for your card reinstall get a new soundcard ? emu will make you happy. i got a laptop pcmia card its very good indeed lets you do internal routing/patching between any sound prog. yum yum. cheap too. bout 100 quid |

sounds like you blew the speakers, no biggie. no advice how to get em fixed tho, that kind of stuff is certainly not going to be under warranty. but as freqy said, if it persists beyond the laptop speakers, could just be youre clipping somewhere on the windows mixer. |

my realtek soundchip also make all sorts of noises (constant buzz and crackling when I move the mouse) also it has very little bass and dirty resonant very annoying high tones. My old soundblaster 64 sounds much better. I'd say Realtek quality is very low... |

2-3 weeks they say. FUCKERS. For the record technology and I do not get along. They tried to up sell me on their little warranty. "If you had the warranty we would give you a replacement computer until it's fixed.". So you don't even get a new computer ? It's like $200 for that extended warranty. Anyway, I give up. I'm bring the thing back tonight. It's the speakers they are making this super loud buzzing sound. They have been broken since the 15th day of owning the thing. |

warranties are essential when buying a computer, especially a laptop. they will, without fail, save you a boat load of money, because all laptops get fucked at some point, and at that point youll be wishing you had spent the extra $200 on the warranty as opposed to the $600 you spent on getting it repaired. |
