M1330 HDD issue?

Hi, I'm on my 3rd XPS M1330 (the first two had lose clips and wobble). this third laptop seems to be fine in terms of build quality. The only inital flaw i saw was that it had a cpu whine but i decided i'd live with that. But now i've found a new possible flaw. On top of the cpu whine my HDD (hard drive disk) makes nosie. even when i set it as "quite" mode. And just today i found that even with the laptop off, if i slightly "bang" the left side of the laptop the hard drive makes a noise. It should like if the hard drive head is not "locked" or parked into position.

Let me explain wat i mean by "bang":
If I put the laptop in my lap and lift the left side by less then a inch and let go it makes a noise. The noise is like a spring being streched and then letting go of. Is this normal of a hard drive?

Should i order a replacement hard drive? should i order a replacement laptop, hopeing it will get rid of the cpu whine as well but fear to get another laptop with wobble and other defect?

if i do order a replacement laptop (that would the 4th one), i think they should give me some sort of upgrade for my inconvinec? how would i ask for some sort of upgrade?


My XPS M1330 Specs:
Crimson Red Casing
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB, 2MB Cache)
Standard LCD CCFL display
1GB ram (bought 2GB from newegg)
120GB HDD 5400rpm
Integrated graphics Intel x3100
Dell 1490 Wireless a/g
bluetooth module
6cell battery
No fingure print reader.

If i were to ask for a upgrade in part, what is the most likely thing they would upgrade?

Thanks for the help in advance

 

nobody can tell if this is normal? do i have a hard drive thats about to fail? Does anyone else hard drive make the same noise?

 

i would just get a replacement HardDrive
