<...> My two-floppy Mac SE has started doing a strange thing recently. About a minute or so after powering up the machine, it emits a bizarre high-pitched squeal. The sound is about two seconds in duration, and is somewhat reminiscent of fingernails on a chalkboard (well, not quite that bad, but close). I first noticed this behavior about two weeks ago (well, actually, this was when I first realized that it was indeed the Mac that was producing the noise.) Have anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what might be causing it? Is it worth bringing to a dealer (cringe) for service? There's absolutely nothing functionally wrong with the machine (that I can tell, anyways). I did bring the machine in several weeks ago for service -- my screen was out-of-focus in the corners. I wonder if the solving that problem could have somehow caused this one....? Anyways, thanks in advance for any clues/advice you can provide...
