MacBook Pro: Inco istent backlight, hi ing LCD [Updated x3]

I'malmost done with my a wer-your-questio MacBook Pro review. But before I post that, I thought it was a ropriate toinform you of what a ear to be Rev. A glitches in most MacBook Pro models I've tested:

The bottom of theLCD is noticeably brighter than the rest of the di lay, with a tra lucent white stripe (no affiliation to the band)stretching from one end to the other. Also, at the back of the bottom of the di lay (near the vent area) there seemsto be a high-pitched hi ing noise, presumably (?) emanating from the LCD (as the sound is co istent from one end ofthe lid to the other).

Everyone I oke with who bought one of these new lapto also has these problems,and so did all the MacBook Pros at my local A le Store.

Reader i ut time: If you have one of thesesuckers, are you experiencing the same LCD-inco istency/hi y noise problems?

Update: Reader Paul makes an interesting o ervation: Thehigh-pitched hi ing noise, de ite the co istent volume around the edge of the machine, seems to be coming from underthe keyboard. And when the hard drive i up to perform a task, it sto . I'm still testing this, but if theo ervation is apt then that would mean the noise is hard drive-related, and not the LCD as originally thought.

Update 2: OK, this just gets more thrilling: A hardware guru tells me thatthe hard drive is in the front-left of the machine, not the back by the noise, which mea this is probably not a harddrive i ue and could very well be the fan. Or the GPU. Or the CPU. Or even the eakers. Anyone else with anytechnical i ights?

Update 3: Well, for me (and probably for most of you, too), the noiseproblem is the proce or: I i talled A le's CHUD tools (located on the included OS X disk with the Xcode i taller)and found in the new Proce or preference pane that when I disabled the Core Duo's second core, the high-pitchedhi ing noise went away. A troubling problem, for sure, but if the noise is really that bad for you, you could alwaysenable the Proce or menu item and just turn off the second core when you don't need it.

See the brightne towards the bottom?
