The screen whine may be a defect, but it's a common defect.  The first
1200HB I bought (from a mail-order house) whined and I sent it back;
the second one whined and I sent it back (along with an irate letter);
the third one is *almost* totally quiet, and I'm satisfied with it.
I know one other person who got a whiner, but he kept it.
