TECH MBA Sounds like a hamster....

[Noah]

I have a 2.1 Ghz, 128GB SSD, MBA (Mid 2009). I've had it for just about a year or so now, maybe a little over. Never made any strange sounds before.

Now, from the time the power button is pressed and while in operation, it sounds like there is a fucking hamster trying to gnaw its way out! It makes a sound every 4-5 sounds, not the fan as the temps are OK.

Thoughts????????







And yes, everything is now backed up.

Did you remember to feed and water your hamster everyday?

Took it over to my local genius bar. Quickly diagnosed a failed a failing SSD drive.

Piss.

Anyone want a mid 2009 Air for $300 bucks, needs a HDD.
