The buzz stays with the computer no matter where it is.

I bought mine at Staple's. Not sure if they have a computer repair place or not. I might call later to find out.

Perhaps so, but since it's out of warranty, they will want to get paid.

HP 510-p026. I set it up initially without any speakers, and the actual computer never made a sound. So I don't think it has an internal speaker. With the speakers in my current monitor muted it still doesn't beep, just the infernal buzzing. And it's still ongoing today. I quit yesterday before pulling the CPU fan. Going to try that later. Also will try using a wooden dowel to isolate where the buzz is mostly concentrated.

Yeah, I know. I had to replace two over the years. This HP is a mini-tower, so there's not a lot of room to work inside it. And thankfully I had the right size torque driver for all the screws, which is what they used instead of Phillips heads.

No. I actually pulled it out of the case to get it a bit away. Put my ear right against; no buzz. I'm going to pull the CPU cooling fan in a bit to see if there excessive dust built up under it. Hard to see down in there with the fan cage in the way. You know, that's close to the sound it's making.

No internal speaker, and I pulled the battery out this morning to no avail. I also did the disconnect each HW component thing yesterday and also disconnected everything at once, including the main plug from the PSU to the motherboard. I've been messing with and doing R&R on these things since 1985, but this one has me baffled. I might just wear my shooting muffs and say screw it. 🤣

Just tried it. Held the power button down for varying lengths of time. No change. The buzz continues. 🤬

I'll give it a try in a little bit. Thanks for that suggestion.

We're getting a bit above my pay grade now. 😉 Yet I would be able to do that if I could get to the motherboard components easily. I can't without removing it, which means dismantling a few other hardware pieces to get it clear out of the case. But that begs the question; if what you said above is happening, wouldn't that have some impact on how it's running? Like right now, there's nothing wrong. I've even rebooted several times since the noise began.

I might eventually resort to that. It's so bad, I have to take breaks to clear my head.

Well this one does, and loud noises at that.

Make me a reasonable offer I can't refuse. I need the floor space.

Someone make me a reasonable offer I can't refuse.

20-45 lbs. If I was on a cattle boat, there is no way I could have used that gear set up without pissing off a lot of people. Fortunately, there were only three of us fishing. This is a 59-lb. king in BC on 17-lb. line. You can see my two bass rigs sitting in the boat. My wife with a nice 15-lb. silver

Describe "better?" Was the '57 T-Bird ( I owned the 1956 pre-fin version) a better car than the later versions?? If the answer is NO, which it should be, than why are the '57s now worth more than north of $100K for the most part? The only reason pre-64s are high priced is for collectible reasons, not function. You can cite the differences all day and won't be able to explain why the newer versions are less dependable, and why most rifle makers now use push feed actions, just like the military uses in its M14 and M16 rifles.

Agree. It's fact nonetheless. I'd much rather battle the smaller version.

I own a 1965 Mod. 70 .264 mag that has been my go-to-gun since I've owned it. Bought it with a Redfield scope through Stoeger Arms where my ex-neighbor in NJ worked as an accountant and later became CEO. I can't even estimate how many critters it has killed over the past 50 years other than to say "a lot." I've used it for everything from javelina to a 60" Canada moose and three subspecies of caribou. With a few exceptions, the dozens of deer and elk I've taken have been shot with this rifle. In Africa, I shot 11 of the 12 animals with it, and in New Zealand I used it for tahr, red stag and Arapawa sheep. The last thing it killed was my desert sheep. It has been carried in a rifle scabbard for many, many miles on numerous horseback hunts and when I was guiding in Colo. during the mid-1970s. So it took a bit of a beating. I eventually had Robar Inc. put a satin silver NP3 (no rust) finish and a McMillan synthetic stock on it. I also changed out the scope to a Leupold high-end one in satin silver. With those improvements, It looks almost new yet. In all that time, I've NEVER had any problems because it is a push-feed gun. This is the rifle with a Colo. deer. Note the camo pattern. 😉

Great looking dogs. I owned and hunted quail here with a shorthair for several years. She was tremendous on Mearns' and Gambel's. If any of your buyers need a crate/kennel, please alert them to the one I have listed here in the classified. It's in like-new condition.

BOTH sets have been SOLD! I have two sets of this raingear in Cabela's Outfitter Brown camo pattern. One has a medium regular parka and medium regular pants. The other set has a small regular parka and small regular pants that were worn only for the below photo illustration and never outdoors. So tags are missing. Both the jacket and pants retailed for well over $100 each when I got these, and Cabela's now has the jacket on sale for $90 and the pants for $80. You can buy either set for $125. NOW $100 $75. Pay with credit cards via PayPal (No PayPal acct. necessary, just an email address), send a money order or come by with cold cash. Will consider reasonable offers but no trades. This is the actual raingear for sale. Cabela's Dry-Plus® Rain Suede™ Evolution Packable Parka – Regular Fabric is softer and quieter than ever Waterproof, breathable Dry-Plus EcoNano durable water-repellent finish Three-piece hood Double-reinforced forearms Rain Suede has been a Cabela’s staple for many years. Our Rain Suede, with Evolution fabric, takes the original and makes it even better. In order to even consider replacing our original Rain Suede, the new fabric had to be perfect. Evolution was that fabric. It’s softer and quieter than our original Rain Suede, but retains the same exceptional breathability of the original. Plus, the microdenier polyester allows camo patterns to print with extremely vivid detail that never fades. The shell fabric is backed with 100% waterproof, breathable Dry-Plus and has an EcoNano™ durable water-repellent finish, which keeps water rolling off the garment, even under extreme pressure when kneeling or crawling. With just a few quick shakes and a couple "brush-offs," the fabric is as dry as when you started the day. It’s your first line of defense against all types of moisture. You can wear it in a downpour and it will be ready to wear again the next day without having to run it through a dryer. Evolution is also extremely versatile, so one investment will see you through multiple hunting seasons. Because the fabric compacts easily, each piece can be rolled and stuffed into its own pocket for storage. Moisture-wicking mesh liner provides next-to-skin comfort. Two zippered slash pockets create ample storage space and are lined for warming chilled hands. A snap-close storm flap over the YKK® zipper and hook-and-loop-adjustable cuffs deliver added protection from moisture. Visored three-piece hood with drawstring and cord lock at the rear. Double-reinforced forearms. Underarm gussets. Imported. The two below are catalogue pix. Camo patterns: Realtree AP™, Seclusion 3D® Open Country®, Seclusion 3D®, Mossy Oak® Break-Up Infinity®, Outfitter Brown™. Below is the same pattern you would be buying.

Those are babies compared to the east coast variety. The one in the above video was 118" and 960 lbs.

Man, I admire you guys who can put up with those cattle boat excursions. They're like organized chaos when the fishing is going on. A friend and I went on an overnighter with H&M in the early 1970s, and it wasn't a fun first experience for me. The sea going out was really rough, so I was seasick from the get-go. 🤢 It got even worse when the fishing started and the beer & blood started flowing around. 🤮 I eventually headed for my bunk and curled up in fetal position for the ride in. When we got back my buddy called his wife on a pay phone, and I asked him to have her call mine and tell her I was never going out to sea again. From then on I never went out on the ocean without Dramamine or later on, Scopolamine patches. A year or so later, the folks from Fenwick invited me out on their boat to chase yellowfin. I started off with one of the telephone-pole like rods with a big reel and quickly decided that wasn't a lot of fun. So I switched to a med. spinning rig with 10-lb. test and had a blast catching big YFs. I also went out of Long Beach aboard a friend's sport fisherman. We spent the entire day at the kelp beds catching barracuda on light tackle. Sometime in the mid-80s, the Canadian Consulate sent a gal writer and me on a press junket to Nova Scotia. One of the things we did was spend a day fishing for REALLY, REALLY big fish -- bluefin tuna that sell to the Japanese for thousands of $$$$$$. And the captain owns the catch! We had two hits in six hours of trolling and landed one of those that weighed 625 lbs. I let the gal handle it for the most part until she got too exhausted. It was like having a VW beetle on the end of the line. All in all, pretty boring. The most fun I've had on the ocean was fishing for king salmon at Buck's Camp at River's Inlet, BC. It was worth three trips, too. It's kinda of a DIY set-up where they give the folks a small skiff and tackle and send them off to fish. The tackle they supply consists of a 9' fly rod and reel with 30# line. I opted to bring my own -- bass fishing rigs spooled with 17# line. Over those three trips, I landed at least 10 king salmon over 50 lbs. (biggest was 68) and never lost one. Also caught oodles of the other salmons, mostly pinks and silvers. When I hooked a king and it made a run, I'd follow backwards, standing on the back seat and steering the motor with my foot. In most cases, it would take 15-20 minutes before I saw the fish. Then the trick was to get it into the big net and boat by myself.
