my laptop is making this clicking sound. Help?

Answer 1

It's probably your fan because it is overheated.

Answer 2

put the laptop off and take it to be fixed you may have the click of death on your hard drive

Click Of Death, Click Death, and COD are names describing the first symptom of a set of serious data threatening problems being encountered with increasing frequency among users of Iomega's Zip and Jaz removable media mass storage systems.

Without any warning a Click Of Death drive begins emitting a series of audible and distinctive clicking sounds, either when a cartridge is first inserted or when attempting to read or write data to or from a previously inserted cartridge.

The word "Death" appears in the names for this problem since that's exactly what occurs in real life: Minutes, hours, or days after the clicking is first heard, the drive -- and usually one or more of the user's cartridges -- suddenly dies without warning. And since people tend to rely heavily upon their Zip and Jaz cartridges for the storage of their important data, this typically results in spontaneous, catastrophic, irreversible, loss of all their data.

The uncertain nature of this problem, coupled with the catastrophic loss of so much user data, and the fact that a COD drive starts damaging its own cartridges -- which in turn appear to be "infected" with Click Death -- has generated a great deal of superstition and mythology, not to mention anger, on the part of Iomega's users.

Iomega Corporation's reaction to this very real problem has been difficult to understand, since they've been largely unwilling to acknowledge and accept any responsibility for this very real defect in many of their products. As you can see when you browse the typical Click of Death web sites on the Internet, Iomega's policy of denial has fueled the fire and greatly upset their users more than anything ... even to the point of causing their users to file class action lawsuits.

Iomega's customers are understandably unhappy because they feel that more warning should have somehow been provided to them, and that Iomega should be taking some reasonable responsibility for this sudden death problem. But so far it hasn't.

Steve's approach as a scientist, engineer, and software developer was different. Getting angry and trying to hurt Iomega wasn't going to help Iomega's users. A response to the problem was what was needed, and it was clear that Iomega's users would need to seek a solution from somewhere else. Therefore we decided to research, develop, and provide such a solution.

Steve extensively researched and explored the problem to determine what could be done to cure and/or prevent it, and then created the freeware software program, "Trouble In Paradise", which is highly effective in predicting and preventing user data loss from the onset of Iomega Click Death.

These pages are designed to provide Iomega's customers and users of Zip and Jaz drive products with a thorough understanding of the problem, a reliable set of tools and preventive measures, and some avenues for recourse in the event that an Iomega customer needs to return a diagnosed-defective drive and/or cartridges to Iomega.
