Prob fixed with new fan 2,051 Views / 23 Replies  
FYI, I had the right fan replaced (after 3 weeks waiting for parts) and the problem is fixed now.
No more clicking noise, just the faint sound of the disk and fans.

After finding out that the noise I originally reported was from the fan, I realise that the 100G 7200rpm seagate disk is not very noisy. I have to put my ear within 20cm of the notebook to hear it,...

Thanks, that is might be the case. I have been assuming it's the disk, but it seems related to heat/usage time (which would agree with the fan fault)

Also if I generate some disk activity (with...
