Got 2 510's- 1 Hums loudly

[Walker1]

Hi, I got my 2 510's yesterday. Goodbye 811's! PQ is exc., Timers & DVRs work well, just 1 thing. One of them makes a loud buzzing/humming noise unless I push down hard on the cover in the middle of the top. What could be loose? I figure that's the hard drive spinning around? I will have to call Dish & have it replaced as I'm on a lease if it doesn't stop. Thanks.

On a non Dish topic- I have an HP computer. I installed a new DVD burner. It works fine, but I made a wrong click on where Pictures would get sent to. Now the drop down menu doesn't include that drive to send pictures to. Can someone direct me to a forum on computers that I can get my needed info on? Thanks.

Any number f things could be loose - it's not likely to fix itself.

As for the computer, well, it's an HP. Take it back to the store and go buy a REAL computer.

Dish is sending a replacement 510 unit. As to the computer, I was guilty of an errant click. The HP? I bought it from a friend when it was 10 months old for $300.00. I have to admit it's very good overall. Real computers? I won't own a Gateway, and Dell mails theirs to you. I'd like to know what you consider a real computer and what you have.

A real computer is one you build yourself or have someone build in a small shop somewhere... not a name brand computer.

Exactly! As the owner of said small shop, I fully concur.

But my actual point was that HP/Compaq is absolute junk.
