When I plug in the memory card reader into my PowerBook's built-in firewire port, the device emits this high pitched buzzing noise. I thought the reader was defective, so I had it replaced and now on my second one and it's still making that same noise. It's to the point where I can't have the reader plugged in at all times because it's excessively noisy.
My external hard drive makes a buzzing noise too, but in order for me to hear it, I have to put my ear against the drive. And the external drive isn't even powered on, it's only plugged into the firewire port!
Is my PowerBook's firewire port defective? I don't have another firewire port in another computer to test it out.
Any info appreciated!
