    I sometimes hear clicking noises which sound like they MAY be coming from the front of my m1530.

    I am not sure if this is normal or not. They usually come in 3s.

    They aren't overly loud, however they are audible.

    Basically, what I'm asking is... is this normal?

    I should also mention this does not happen all the time, only once in a while.

    I was reading that thread, but I'm not a techie so it is tough to understand for me.

    The problem they're describing sounds like the same as mine...is there anyway someone can give me a dumbed-down step-by-step way to fix it?

    I have the 200GB 7200rpm drive.
