MacBook Pro mid 2012 hard disk click
Hey all,
Received my brand spanking new MacBook Pro mid 2012 model just a few days ago only to be disappointed by a clicking noise coming fairly regularly from the hard disk. I've plenty of experience with "the click of death" as some call it, and so I called Apple about what to do.
Two options: send it back to them, or go to a Genius Bar and have them look at it. I opted for the later and took it in, explained about the click and they said they'd replace the drive. Great. However... I go to pick it up today, get it back home and after about 5 minutes of using it, and there it is: the click again.
Could I just be really unlucky here and have received a second faulty hard disk? Or could this be something else like a problem with the circuit that supplies power to the hard disk (not enough juice / too much)? Has anybody else received the new mid 2012 MBP and had a similar problem? Could this be down to a faulty batch of 750gb HDDs shipped to Apple?
I know, that's a lot of questions, but if anybody has any ideas or any info, that'd be great!
Cheers,
./p
