    I own an m6805 and it has a clicking noise coming from the top left side. Sounds like a camera shutter going off every now and then. What is this? How can I stop it.

    I have this computer and don't have any clicking noises - actually, the computer is amazingly quiet! Perhaps you have a defective unit?

    Hi! I’m on my second M6805. BB replaced it with this M6805. I also had a clicking noise from the upper left side. The noise is from the CPU fan. Either its defective or something is caught in it. Don’t wait! [:0] Take it in for repair or replacement. It’s not going to get better on its own. Your unit may start to have heat issues if that’s the case. [ ;)] Good luck.
