    I just got a pavilion dv6-3040us. After using it a few times I notice that it keeps making a clicking sound. The sound appears to be coming from under/near the touchpad area. I'm not sure exactly where the hdd is located, but i'm assuming the sound is coming from the hdd.

    I tried searching on google for a solution. However, all I could come up with is that the sound might be caused by the driveguard protection system or by the power management.

    Have anyone else encounter this problem before? Is there is a fix for it?
