Urgent help needed: a few days ago at 10 PM when my laptop was in sleep mode it started a random clicking noise at random times. One click…3 clicks…space two clicks...1 click,etc. So I shut it down. Since then it has continued to do that after I boot up from an off mode after 15-24 minutes. It seems like it is a “warming up” issue. It is a HP laptop a ”used” gift from my son when my last tower computer failed. HP model number: 15-ay0 12dx…whatever that means. I have not had any trouble since I got this laptop last January. Bottom line is that I do not want to get an estimate from Geek Squad by dropping off my computer if it can’t be fixed and they may still charge me. I can currently afford a new laptop. However, if it can be fixed I don’t want to purchase a new one…need you guys/girls to give me your input. Have you encountered this issue before and what to do…
