I don't know what to tell you about the whine, the crackle is normal though, it is simply one of the capacitors (or its ilk) discharging when you disconnect the power.

Well, I do know one is bad if it has burn marks and smells like a wet dog sat on a flame. -Robyn On Tuesday, September 24, 2002, at 08:01 PM, John Teffer wrote: >> Is your power supply making any rapid 'mini-ticking' noises, similar >> to an >> electrical ratchet noise?
