I updated my laptop some time ago to the latest version of Win 10.
However, after that update it suffers from a rattling shaking noise.
It's a HP with a SSD, and no HDD.
During the update process it sounded louder and louder until it slowed down and calmed down. Will think of the centrifuge in a washing machine.
That rather high rattling shaking sound (60-70dB?), what could it be?
Almost impossible to use it now due to the noise. It is as fast as before though and I haven't discovered anything wrong with it otherwise. Not particularly warm or anything.

Sounds like a bearing in one of the fans has come loose, or a screw. You’ll want to open up the back and check over. An update wouldn’t cause a rattle noise unless it was coming from the speakers and the sound drivers has borked.

Dr Peppers was once the answer to all lap top problems on here.  |

Problem is this HP G5-model is very encapsulated. Not like my old Toshiba Pro Satellite (Win XP/Vista) where I have easy access to the drives, memory and battery. I have no idea what this repair could cost here in Svedala. 🧓 I have to ask tomorra. |

Usually once you can get the keyboard side loose it’s usually plain sailing, manufacturers don’t want you meddling around, so they just make it purposely difficult. Echoing above, Dr Pepper should also do the trick. A generous amount poured over the keyboard will do it. |

Thanks for the advice!👍 However, I didn't have any Dr Pepper at home in this late hour, so I tried some Pepsi Max instead, half a can to be sure, but it didn't seem to have helped at all! 🤔 Instead the buttons are harder to press now and the rattling shaking noise is accompanied by a wobbling sound. What went wrong? |

What went wrong? It’s the sugar in Dr Peppers that ensures a seam free repair. Pepsi Max is sugar free and won’t work. What you need to do is submerge the laptop in clean warm water for 30 minutes then dry it with a hair dryer (don’t use a paint stripper because it will melt plastic stuff). Once dried apply Dr Peppers as advised. Following this technical repair will also ensure the warranty is not invalidated. You get great technical help on here and help with other life’s problems like will an aeroplane take off on a treadmill. Mind you that one took over 12 months to resolve few years ago. |

I was at a IT service center today within walking distance and asked about the problem and the cost, how to solve it.
He said if the sound comes from the speakers it's probably a software problem, but if it comes from the laptop itself it must be a hardware problem. He thought the SSD controller or the fan.
I don't think it's something wrong with my speakers, and it doesn't come from there, it comes from the side of the laptop.
If they can fix it right there it's 299 SEK (£25), plus the eventual new part/s. A loose screw or something.
If they can't fix it at once, they have to check what's wrong, do some testing and it will land on 699 SEK (£55).
Then they can say what's wrong and how much it would cost to repair it.
He asked me if I had dropped the laptop, since an update of Win 10 shouldn't give this kind of trouble.
But it did ... when updating it was on full spin and awfully hot. It's never even the slightest warm otherwise.
Earlier this week I checked with another service center and it was just 199 SEK (£15,5) for an easy work, like a loose screw.
If they had to test the whole laptop they took 599 SEK (£46). Then they would know what has to be done.
However, they took another 800 SEK (£61,5) if I wanted it back within 1-3 days. I have no idea, but it might take a couple of weeks otherwise?
Another problem with this place is the distance. I have to put 136 SEK (£10,5) on bus tickets then.

Sounds like you have pigeon nesting in it for me. Is quite a problem with laptops in pigeonous regions

There can only be two sauces, musik. There are only two moving parts in a laptop - the cooling fan and the hard drive. Take them out one at a time and see if the noise stops.  Sossage sandwith with brown source and a cup of tea. OS. |

Sossage sandwith with brown source and a cup of tea. OS. And it's normally only one in mine, since there's no HDD but a SSD. However the service repair man said it could be the controller to the SSD that got loose a bit. By controller he meant cables, I guess. The laptop is thin and very encapsulated. No screws at the bottom. I suppose they'll reach the parts by lifting the keyboard out first. Nothing for me, it's for them to do. |
