I noticed that my X5 started eminating a high pitched whine. Most threads on this topic suggested the backlight. Toggling the backlight on and off seems to do nothing for the sound. Placing the screen close allows me to hear the normal hum of the backlight, but this whine is a completely different sound.

I took the Axim apart and narrowed the whine down to the screen. When the screen is turned off or unplugged the whine is not there, so I do not believe its the motherboard. Also the sound only eminates from the front of the LCD screen (ie the sound cannot be heard when the LCD is facing away from you).

Any ideas?
