THanks for the web links and responces that is great.

What is interesting is that I noticed the screen noise problem on dim 
after upgrading to WinXP pro Srv. Pack 1 and installing the driver 
updates on Sony's web site.  The noise can not be herd on full bright.  
On dim it can be heard 30 ft away.

MicroSoft would not recognize my video driver after upgrade so I had to 
reinstall the lcd driver from the stock CD's.  I noticed that this is 
not the same driver as what came with the laptop installed.  The stock 
cd's installed a digital flat panel 1024x768 screen.    When i hit 
driver details i am told no drivers are installed for this devise yet I 
ran sony's setup.

Would someone check there properties and write back with the there 
monitor type properties for windows.  I know this is a linux post... 
please bear with me I would like to get this laptop fixed and running 
well with xp before installing redhat.

Anyways what I think the noise problem is is a software issue.

This is also interesting Intel has a more recent chipset driver - 
intergrated video then what sony has posted:

Intel(R) 815 and Intel 810 chipset family graphics driver. 
WIN2K_XPM67.EXE] (4398KB) 6.7  8/23/2002

Also about installing linux I have both drevices for the firwire cdrom 
and usb floppy.  Is it possible to some how not do a ftp install and 
some how install from a usb floppy?  

OK hear are all the noises I have from this machine:

Constant hum.. it is bearable (is this the fan?)
lcd screen on dim ... unbarable hum sound
Hard drive noise when yellow light is on... quick chatter ..
Growl sound when I open many files... maybe this is the fan

I don't really want to send this thing back to sony and have them mess 
it up.  I still am thinking the LCD driver hum sound is a software issue.

Thanks

Dave
