How can I fix the clicking sound my laptop is doing?

Hey there,

I turn on my laptop and it didn't start, let her rest and tried again it worked, however is making some clicking noises, look on internet and seems to be something with the hard drive, but I haven't found how to take of.

Thank you in advance

@alex9120 what is your computers complete model number?

Are you sure it is not just a wire brushing against the cooling fan blade? That can make a clicking sound.

Hi Alex,

The hard drive might have failed, and you could replace it. This guide goes over nearly all of it - I followed it myself and managed to replace mine with no problems. If you've been backing up your computer, you'll be able to restore your data on the new hard drive; if you don't have a backup and your data is important, you can take it to a data recovery expert near you. As for the new drive, just make sure you get one the same size and capacity as your old one.

Good luck!
