Annoying Router noise...

Hi guys, I probably should have changed the router soon as I got the thing, but well I didn't...And I brought it ages ago now, so I couldn't even if I wanted to.

Basically, my router makes a lovely High pitched noise, rather like the noise someone has in they're ears when they have tinitus. Which by the way i have as well, which is lovely on its own, let alone with the router doing it back in my face :p

Question is, is there anything that could be done? To stop it? I've done a firmware upgrade once, as the router was crashing in the web interface...But that didnt change anything.

Or am I stuck with a Tiniutisised router?
 
The noise is coming from the unit itself, and there isn't a separate power brick so to speak...Just the plug for the power.

It's a D-link DSL G604-T.

Normally I turn the thing off at night, but my mother is using her laptop a bit more now, so I have to leave it on a lot more often.
 
Some D-link models seem particularly prone to overheating, so make sure it is well-ventilated.

Maybe, but it does it as soon as it's on :)

I could send it back, but as I said I did the firmware and the web interface issue dissapeared.

I might email them for fun anyway, see what they come up with.

And as for pouring glue in, i'd rather not.
