That has nothing to do with your hard-drive issues. It's purely cosmetic (as far as I can tell), so if your iBook is still under warranty and it bugs you - let them fix it.

As for your hard-drive: you have to be more specific. What kind of noises is it making? Describe the noise. How long have these noises existed? Did you do anything major to the iBook - internal or external - before it became a problem?

As I stated above, if it's still under warranty - take it to the Genius Bar @ your local Apple store and ask them about it. If it needs replacement, they'll ship it off in order for the repairs to take place. Unfortunately, this means you'll be without your iBook for a while.

i have just sent my ibook in ... it is actually the authorized apple dealer ... they don't even know english ... arrhhhh ... it was quite difficult for me to make them understand what is the exact problem with my ibook ... they promise to give me a call later ... i hope they don't charge me anything because my ibook is still under warranty.

That's good that it is still under warranty

Because of that, they shouldn't charge you for the repairs.

Good luck and I hope your iBook comes back working like new again! Keep us updated.
