Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating widespread reports of coil whine or high-frequency noise from the Legion 5 and Legion 5 Pro laptops (2021–2024 models). Many users report persistent buzzing or whining sounds from the VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) or GPU regions during typical usage, including light workloads, idle, or while charging. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, users often find that returning the unit or replacing parts doesn’t alleviate the problem.
Common Legion 5 / 5 Pro Coil Whine Issues
Affected owners describe the following issues related to high-pitched noise:
-
Persistent coil whine or buzzing sounds from the GPU or VRM regions
-
Noise that varies with frame rate, power plan, or when switching between AC and battery power
-
Minimal improvement after limiting frame rates (FPS) or switching between performance modes
-
Replacement units or new boards exhibiting similar coil whine noise patterns
These disturbances can significantly affect the overall quality and usability of the laptop, especially for users who require a quiet environment for gaming, work, or multimedia tasks.
Standard Service & Limited Resolution
Many users report being told that coil whine is a normal characteristic of certain electronic components. Unfortunately, this often results in:
-
Denied warranty claims or service requests due to the issue being deemed “within specification”
-
No substantial fix following RMAs or repairs, with the noise recurring on replacement units
-
Frustrating returns where the problem is deemed to be “no fault found”
These responses have led to increased concerns about quality control and customer satisfaction for Legion 5 / 5 Pro owners.
