Re: [Trisquel-users] Will my T400 be quieter if I replace the HDD with and SSD?

I believe you might be more sensitive to sounds than me. My fan is running at  
2000rpm and I can't say I notice it. Or maybe your fan is not operating  
correctly. Maybe take the machine to a technician and ask for a thorough  
cleaning and a check-up on the fan.
As for the screen, there is nothing that can be done. Minifree used to have a  
page explaining the issue, but the site is kinda gone. Try using the Archive  
to access it.

But for the most part, take the HDD out and replace with an SSD, you will be  
glad you did it. Keep in mind the board actually has a speed limit lower than  
SSD, so don't spend too much to get extra fast drives, just get a good brand  
and you will be good to go. The optical drive will be an option if you don't  
need it. Also, the fan is the main culprit most likely, take care of that and  
you will be good to go.
