Laptop makes a metallic clicking sound sometimes.

[Nikethsk]

I recently bought a laptop from HP, and there's this issue where the laptop makes a metallic clicking sound at random. I've tried updating the BIOS and ran a disk check and got no error issue. 

Please let me know if this sound is common, if not how can I resolve the issue.?

Please run a System Test and let me know if you hear the clicking sound

- Shut down the Notebook completely
- Turn it back on, then tap the Esc key repeatedly until the Startup menu screen is displayed.
- Press F2 to select System Diagnostics.
- Click System Tests, then click Extensive Test.
 

Keep me posted

Hello,

Yes i performed the extensive test and got no error from the test.

But the sound is still present.

The noise is heard when the disk starts to run.

This seems to be a mechanical issue with the Hard drive. 

I suggest you contact HP Support in your Region for Service Options

1) Click on this link - www.hp.com/contacthp/ 
2) Select your product type below.
3) Enter the serial of your device. 
4) Select the country from the drop-down. 
5) Select the chat or get phone number options based on your preferences. 
6) Fill the web-form and proceed further.
 

Thank you
