I recently got a Samsung NP-R519 that had a broken screen,after replacing the screen i installed windows 7 ultimate 32bit, but while installing it it started making a buzzing noise, its coming from the fan, and it also does it while on windows, but will stop and start again at intervals, but i dont know how to stop it, can any one help me solve this problem?
thanks

Its probably a fan on your video card, assuming your laptop has one. My laptop does the same thing until it warms up, but it doesn't do it at intervals like you describe. The only way to make it stop is to replace the fan. You might also try a can of air; it may need to be cleaned.

If you think this is something you could take on, and depending what fan needs to be replaced, this is a project that shouldn't be too difficult. All I have to do on my laptop is remove one panel to expose the video card fan. Its just 2 small screws and a plug from there.

You will have to get the replacement fan from the manufacturer, though. It won't be something you can get off the shelf at Fry's.

Forgot to add when i unplug the charger it stops for a while then starts again and when i plug in the charger again it starts.

Depends what fan it is. If its a processor fan, you might be stuck replacing the motherboard. This would be rather expensive, though.

I had an HP laptop once and I was able to find a document at hp.com that detailed how to dismantle the laptop. That would help help you with the repairs. Don't know if samsung has something similar at their site, but you might try poking around in their support section.

The buzzing stops when you unplug the power cord?

What did you do to solve it?

Stripped down laptop and found a little screw inside it!

Ah, I see. I hope you found out where it belongs. A loose screw rattling around won't do your system any good.
