[emax] high pitched whine

2008-01-14 by Captain Dan

Alan. I had this problem as well. It was caused by some sort of vibration in
the LCD. I don't recall the exact steps, but I eventually put a thin slice
of cardboard between the LCD and it's  base. Totally solved the issue.
And you're right -  it's  damned annoying, I'll know a TV is on in the
building even if the volume's turned off.
