Default The Noise, They Yell At Me! Laptop.

herro, I have this huge problem in which my hp laptop is producing an ear grinding amount of noise, so much that I turn it off around my friends. I've googled some answers to this but currently I am at the student center and cannot try them till I get home.

Some forum input on what to do would be nice too.

o.O;

I'm no expert, but I've heard that your Hard-drive can make that kind of noise if it's on the verge of dying.

I would take it into repair, or just buy a new one. :|

Best case scenario:
could be the fan.


Worst case scenario:
could be the hard drive(if so, you're ****ed sooner or later and I'm amazed it's still alive)

RUN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Otherwise, like the others have suggest it is most likely your fan or your hard drive. If you can't take it in to get fixed try to buy the engineers manual (usually found on ebay) and attempt to diagnose the problem youself.

Oh, yes, I forgot personal laptops were the terrorists main target. Not to mention it's called a car bomb.

But frankly, I think you're crazy.

P.S.: I think we should make babies together...
