Well, not literally. I just got my brand new A197VP, really pleased with it. However there's one annoying thing I've noticed - every 20 or 30 seconds, there's a quiet "chirping" noise (lasts for about 1/2 a second) that sounds *exactly* like a cricket chirp. It's accompanied by a very quiet mechanical clunk.
I can't figure out if it's the harddrive or the dvd drive doing it, or something else. The clunk noise sounds kind of like the hd heads parking, or the dvd laser assembly parking.
Is this a fault or a known problem? I'll be pretty hacked off if it's a fault - I just spent 3 days uninstalling all the junk that comes with it by default, so don't really want to return it.
Incidentally I tried to get e-support from vaiolink, but the system kept refusing my details... No idea what that's all about.
All help appreciated, thanks.
