    I have used Satellite L875-12p for about a month. Here is its specification

    Satellite L875-12P - Toshiba

    Tehn about early last month, I start to notice clicking noise randomly occurs from the right corner of touch mouse pad. This is quite weird since this laptop is quite new. So I sent it to Toshiba repairing center for fixing. They put new HDD into it, for free of charge. However, there is still occasionally clicking noise. I also recorded two videos of clicking noises as followed


    The first video

    The clicking noise happens between 0.03 sec to 0.17 sec.

    The second video
    clicking noise second video - YouTube

    The clicking noise could be noticeable between 0.06 sec to 0.35 sec

    What do I have to do to solve this problem?

    Check and keep an eye on your "Toshiba PC Health Monitor" program; it will tell you the "health" of your harddrive.

    If it says it is good, it just could be that your laptop uses a noisy harddrive model. For example, my sister's Lenovo Thinkpad E420 Edge has a noisy harddrive, you can hear it clicking at various times. However, I'm not aware of any solution to remedy the problem.
    If in doubt, be sure to make regular backups in case there is a harddrive failure.


    Good luck
