    1. A Helicopter In My Cable Modem

      I bought a cable modem off of eBay. I have contacted the seller.

      When I turn it on it sounds like I am listening to a helicopter at low volume. Thumping noises.

      I DDGed. It isn't electronic interference. It is on the same spot of my desk that my old cable modem was on.

      I'm not sure I can open it or not, but the case has many holes. I may try running the hose attachment from my vacuum cleaner over it to try to get dust out.

      Anything else I can try?
