[ltp] T60p vibrating hard drive

[Karel Podvolecky]

First I apologize for my English :-)

I have same issues with my T60 (2004-F4G) except vibration. Yes, HDD is
a little noisy, but does not vibrate. I am disapointed. It is my first
TP and theselittle details in construction are annoying for that price :-(.
And what about running on battery? Do you hear that bzzzzz noise from
speakers direction?  :-((
