    hey everyone
    im looking on here for some advice, im new to the toshiba laptops and i have an issue with one that im working on.
    the problem would seem pretty straitforward but its rather odd, so ...
    the computer is a toshiba a105-s2091 the problem is that i am getting a faint ticking sound from the motherboard.
    now heres the strange part
    i have completely disassembled the computer and there is nothing on the board except for the processor(ie, no fans no moving parts no nothing) and i just tested the power cord and its putting out 19v just like its suposed to
    im just wondering if this thing is a lost cause or not

    thanks

    ticking... good thing its not vibrating. Modern bombs don't tick. They vibrate. Of course 9 times out of 10 its a razor or a vibrator...

    ok, in all seriousness, I've had two toshibas and neither clicked. Actually, hardrives click pretty bad when they fail. The only other things that might click are the fan (my bet) or a small relay somewhere on the board.

    Maybe you might be talking about the Intel's CPU whine
    Go on YouTube and type in cpu whine or something and you will hear an example
