    Hey everyone,

    I've notice that my AC adapter is making clicking noise. What's funny about that is that it's sync with the HDD led.

    Is there something wrong with it or it's normal?

    Thanks.

    Seb

    Not positive on this, but I'm think the clicking sounds are normal.

    Dunno about it being synced with the HDD led though.

    That sounds quite unusual actually. Generally the 'click' noise is the result of a short, and if its periodic or recurrent should be looked into. It could be a short between the code that connects the wall plug to the power adapter itself. Tis obvious, but try tightening it, or even replacing the code.


    Do get it checked if it persists though.
