Hello all,
I have an Acer Aspire 7 (A715-72G). The fan makes a very annoying "clicking" noise while idle and under no stress. I thought it was the preinstalled HDD, so I removed it and replaced it with an SSD, but the sound persists. The noise seems to be coming from the front end of the machine. I disassembled the laptop and manually rotated the two cooling fans, but they don't make any noise. I thought something, like a sticker, was hitting the fan blades as they moved, but both fans look fine. I'm really confused where this clicking noise is coming from. It's not too audible, but in a quiet room its quite irritating.
Has anyone had this issue before? What can I do? Can anyone please help me? Thanks!
