I've recently received a vertical docking station from Henge for my 13-inch MacBook Pro. I read the manual and followed the instructions correctly, using the "D" piece for my MagSafe 2 power cable. For some reason that is unknown to me, I've started hearing a crackling sound coming from within the laptop. I checked the connections to the ports, all of which are fine. It only happens when an app is active. If I leave a Word document open and leave the laptop idle, for example, it doesn't start making the noise. It gets especially noisy when I'm doing something graphically intensive. Could this be because my MacBook is sitting vertically? My MacBook Pro model has an SSD installed internally, so there is no hard drive problem. Here is a link to a recording I made of the sound: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?res...4799&authkey=!AESLckn1KPZrA9o&ithint=file,m4a
