Re: old travelmate514xv wont start, cd drive clicking...

A couple of questions:
1) When did this problem start?
2) What were you doing before this happened?
3) what are the specs on the machine?
4) You say you hear clicking, are you sure its coming from the cd rom and now the hdd?
5) Do you have a warrenty on your laptop?
