Hi @0lightfoot0,

Welcome to the HP forums! It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community. I understand that your notebook is not working and only makes a clicking noise. I’ll gladly assist you with this.

It certainly looks like a hardware issue with the computer. Please perform some basic troubleshooting steps to try and correct the situation.

• Please perform a hard reset first.Steps to do it:
• Power down the computer and unplug the charger. Then remove the battery only if it is a removable one.
• Hold down the power button of the unit for 15 seconds to discharge static electrical charges inside the machine.

• Replace the battery and reconnect the charger. Try to power on the computer.

Please check if  this works. If it does not I would require more information regarding this.

• When did this first happen?
• Is there a light that glows by the power port where the charger plugs in?
• Have you tried an external screen like a TV using an HDMI cable to isolate the issue?
• IIs there a light on the power button?
• You could also try a bios roll back if there is a light by the power port where the charger plugs in. You need to power down the computer.
• Then press and hold down the "Windows" key on the keyboard along with the letter "B" and simultaneously press the power button for about 4 seconds to begin this process. 

If it still does not work, I request you to contact HP phone support to get the unit serviced by visiting this link: http://hp.com/contacthp

You need to select the region and language and type the product# of the unit. Then please follow the instructions on the screen to contact phone support.
