[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1751683, member: 234411"] Hello - some more information will help - please go to the Apple (upper left menu bar) and select 'About This Mac' which will bring up the information shown below (first pic - my MBPro w/ serial# blanked) - if you can post your image, then will be of great help - also for more information on your computer, plug in its serial# at the lookup site of [URL="http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/"]EveryMac[/URL], scroll down and tell us about the HDD installed on the machine. Now, whether you have the 'latest' macOS, which is Sierra, will appear like in the first pic - if your computer is indeed from 2010, it just made the wire for Sierra compatibility as quoted below ([URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/3121239/macs/which-macs-can-run-macos-sierra.html"]Source[/URL]). Finally, how do you know that the 'ticking noise' is related to the hard drive vs. say the fan(s)? Let me stop at this point for you to respond. Dave :) . [ATTACH=FULL]26148[/ATTACH] .
