Noise Problem

[Rizwan]

Hey guys!

I just bought a second-hand Xda Atom and I'm having a bit of problem with it.

When I turn it on the device makes some kind of noise and seems to be comming from the screen.

You can't really hear it properly from far away but when you approach the screen it get louder.

I was just wondering if this is normal or does this mean that my device is faulty?

Cheers

The Atom should be silent aside from whatever sound effects you're playing through the speakers. That unit is suspect of damage.

Hello everyone.. for those of you who have that problem.. heres what i figured out... when i turn my atom on after i put it in my pocket i noticed that there is moisture inside the screen... as it turns out after reading a lot of posts.. its not water.. its some type of oil leak........ and when it twist the atoms body it separates the touchscreen and the screen but it causes the screen to have this loud pitch noise! :S so if i let the oil leak from inside of the screen it wont make the high pitch noise... i plan to open the atom this weekend and try to take the oil out and maybe clean the insides... maybe that will fix the damn high pitch noise and get rid of that oil stain inside my screen!.... sooo frustrated with this phone! even though i love having one.... i guess in the end.. its worth it....

My advice is to send the Atom to the O2 service center if its still under warranty and telling them of the problem. Its a hardware problem and I have to sent mine in 4 times before it got fixed - wasted about 6 months. They finally found the caused - the touch screen sensor was placed too close to the LCD!!!
