Any way to make that power supply stop whining? > The powersupply will always make a slight humming when turned off, it supplies power to the board instead of using the battery. You shouldn't be hearing it unless you really try though. If you unplug the machine and the clock resets, you defiantly need to replace the battery, that may even make the whining go away.
