Buzzing noise under keyboard
I have Inspiron N5110 and i noticed buzzing/screeching sound under the keyboard that sounds like it is electrical related. I make diagnostic and no problems were found, so can you tell me what it can be :/ Thank you , Stefan

The only two moving parts are the hard drive and fan -- if the noise is constant, it's likely the fan. If it's intermittent, it's likely the hard drive.

The noise is constant but not very loud, but when i draw in autocad is much louder than usually.
If it is tha fan , what should i do , to stop that noise, how to clean the fan...i dont want to open my laptop case just for that.
Thank you and sorry for my english , Stefan

It's unlikely that cleaning the fan will make much difference - and on this model, accessing the fan is far from easy. It'll eventually make noise that's intolerable -- then, replace the fan (or sooner if it's apparent the fan isn't spinning).

I forget to mention that the noise is coming only form central part of the keyboard...

Since the system is under warranty, call Dell and arrange a warranty repair. That's not where the fan is located, so the problem is likely the hard drive itself. Meanwhile keep backups if the noise continues.
The diagnostics will not pick on a drive with noisy bearings -- but they should be willing to replace the drive for you under warranty. The drive in this model is not considered user-replaceable.
