I keep hearing this clicking sound. Its just random at times. Sound like something unsticking and bouncing after. Its hard to duplicate, just happens from time to time. Anyone have similar thing happening?

Have you checked to make sure you don't have a unreadable DVD in the optical drive?
Oh wait...
:)
the HD is solid state, no? Because if it is, this is obviously not the drive- Nevermind, I forgot these came with a non solidstate drive unless you paid an astronomical price tag. You said you have nothing on the drive though right?lvl_13
- Nothing on this machine really anyway, correct? If nit I would back it up asap and bring it in.lvl_13

No there is no optical drive and the HD is 80 gig non SSD. It really sounds like something magnetic switch is release and a metal piece is hanging.
I keep thinking that there maybe a HD release but it shouldnt make that sound. Its not a click that you get from HD....

Does it happen when you click the mouse button?
- Hmm well when I interacting with it, not sure if its just a trackpad button********
- Perhaps the mouse button sticking and releasing, unlikely but ...comicsans

Could be the fan. I had the fan go bad in mine.

Could be the HD clicks of death. They do that sometimes before they go down.

the only time i ever heard that "unsticking and bouncing" sound was before my HD bailed....didn't know at the time and when it eventually did, i got teary eyed.
