i have a compq presario sr1030nx and a loud rappid clicking noise and i think it is frome my hard drive or my 31/2 flopy drive and i would like to know why this is happing

If its from the drives than its a physical defect/flaw and you should replace the part as soon as possible. I susepct it's a case fan chewing on a cable tho

I came across this issue the other day in another forum. The problem was with the psu. It may also be the fan, or hard drive.

what do u think i should do

 

[Tapir]

Remove hard drive and start to see what happens. With case open you may be better able to ascertain where sound is coming from.

should i let compq take care of this and fix the problem

 

[Tapir]

Go the way of your warranty first.

Waste of time to claim warranty if it just happens to be a cable. All you have to do is move something about half-and-inch

if i open the case it would void the warranty and if i get a begger problem i would have to pay everything out of my pocket $$$$

1. If you open the case carefully the sticker wont be ripped
2. Odds are nothing is actually wrong other than a fan clipping a cable (you can try to slant the case to see if that helps)
3. If uits still a problem... send it in
