Abnormal High Frequency From A Dell Vostro 3550

Hi,   My new laptop from work is the above DELL and the first thing I notice that is that there is a very annoying high frequency vibration coming from the keyboard area. You sense it when typing and more so if you relax your wrists on the area just infront of the keyboard. What is the solution?? Regards Dominick

Since you stated "new" in your question the obvious answer is take it back.  And do so quickly before the warranty expires.

What you have is one of two things, neither can be fixed by you.

One: a defective CPU fan.  This can damage the systems and cause it to run slow.

Two: a defective hard disk.  This will eventually fail completely more than likely taking your data with it.

Return it quickly, and get a new one.
