Laptop question..... - GoFuckYourself.com

DeanCapture · 11-22-2005, 11:58 PM

I recently purchased a Fujitsu laptop which I dearly love and am having a little problem with it. When I turn the power on....I hear a clicking noise coming from the CD player. Is it possible that the computer is trying to read a CD when it boots up? I usually just open the CD and then close it and the sound goes away. Any thoughts?

check to see if the CDRom is set as the first device in the boot process

to do this.. when laptop is booting, get to the BIOS and check Boot Order

Well, I was able to access the BIOS but shit....I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. Thanks for the input though -

I just checked out my BIOS and looked at the boot order and here's what it says:

+Floppy Disc Drive
+Hard Disc Drive
CD-Rom Drive

Is this the normal lineup? The noise that I'm hearing is definently coming from the CD player and not the floppy drive which is on the other side of the computer from where the noise is coming from???

Boot order seems fine.

Just do not leave a CD in the ROM when the machine is powered off.

Ya got no CD in the ROM when ya boot or is there one?

I have seen this before on a couple laptops. SOme reason the the ROM continues to cycle when the Machine is powered up if a disk is in it.

But a clicking sound?
Odd.
