I need help. My laptop keeps clicking and making weird buzzing noises and won’t start. If I restart my Mac, the screen is plain white while the noise goes on in the background. The Apple logo appears and loads a bit before it stops loading. I’ve tried off of another forum the dusting thing for the noise but the screen won’t load. It was working fine yesterday, I left it on and inside of my bag along with my VR headset. I didn’t use it yesterday and when I tried to use it today, the screen froze on my discord app and when I restarted it, the clicking noise happened along with a buzzing sound. Now there were debris on my laptop from the bag, I believe I had crumbs in there. Maybe it’s the temperature? It was really cold last night and today. I’ve restarted it 4 times and left it running for a few hours before the clicking gave me a headache. Can someone please help me?
Your hard drive has gone bad. The clicking is caused by that read arm going back and forth searching the drive. UPDATE You had the wrong machine selected. I have changed it and here’s the guide: MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Hard Drive Replacement To repair it you will need: Tools Phillips #00 Screwdriver T6 Torx Screwdriver Your machine will take Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.6.1 (10A2047) Maximum MacOS: Current* After you replace the drive you may be able to do an “Internet Install”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O07buFQ… Also you can get a Snow Leopard retail installation and follow these directions: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3910
