RE: W60B emitting high-pitched noise - msncookie - 08-18-2021 09:47 PM I figured it must be something along those lines, but your idea - and attention to detail - is much appreciated! I just checked on it, and it appears to have stopped on its own overnight so maybe it "settled" as you mentioned. You will see on the PCB around 3 or 4 (depends on revision) little grey things marked with numbers on the top, like 220, 4R7 or 6RB and you will see around the sides a thin coil of wire, squishing some silicon sealant around them may dampen them enough to stop the coil whining. The base opens easily enough, two screws then a nail running around the edge will eventually pop the top off. If you are going to replace then first of all you could try some silicon type sealant and squish it into the coils on the PCB. It could also be one of the capacitors acting like a speaker as it is about to fail which could then stop it working. You could try moving it to on its side or putting it flat for a while, it might stop after a while then as the coil vibrates and settles differently. Unlikely resetting everything will help, unless the reset puts it back to a slightly different state and it's drawing a different amount of power, as that will adjust the frequency the coil runs at which might stop it resonating.
It doesn't usually mean it is about to fail. It will likely be coil wine from one of the power chokes, its a problem with all sorts of electrical equipment, a bit like a rattle in a car that develops, but someone else with the exact same car and model doesn't have it, just one of those things. How can this reply be detected as spam then adding this sentence changes it enough to let it continue! Wondering if anyone else has experienced this, but I presume my only option is to replace. The noise starts as soon as it is connected to PoE/switch port.
It is about 3 years old and has been powered by a PoE switch with no issues until now. (08-18-2021 08:19 PM)Phil2021 Wrote: (08-18-2021 09:37 AM)msncookie Wrote: My W60B base has started to emit a loud high pitched noise or squeal.
