Lift the lid. Tighten all the board mounting screws. Check the
microphone cable. See if it happens with the microphone disconnected.
Just yesterday someone noted they found their hum came from a broken
braid on the microphone cable. It might be that the act of connecting
the RS-232 cable moved a loose board and broke a ground connection. Look
for that.
