Grind.

August 20th, 2007

Hmm. My trusty PBG4’s fan has started, er, um, groaning. Grumbling. Grinding. It makes the noise for a second or two and then stops for a while (seconds to minutes to hours). Occasionally it keeps on grinding for 10–20 seconds or so.

Want to hear? Turn your speakers down first, though. It’s loud. Of course, the PowerBook’s microphone is right next to the fan, so even the normal, quiescent purring (audible at the end of the recording) sounds kind of awful.

Uh, never mind
