[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1292858, member: 46727"] Long post, short answer: Replace the hard drive as it appears to be failing. The clicking noise is a tell tale sign the drive is failing. Make a backup of all your data as soon as you can. As for the Mag Safe charger, they do on occasion fail from heat. There was a bad run of them some time ago but Apple has since replaced them with a stronger and safer model. I'm sure when they replaced yours that they replaced it with the newer model. [/QUOTE]
