Brand New Laptop - Annoying Clicking Noise
Hello
Today I just received my Inspiron N5110
It's brand new and ever since I got it, when the laptop isn't loading anything (the fans aren't kicking in and making a loud noise) there is an annoying clicking noise coming from underneath the laptop.
There is nothing wrong with it, it runs fine.. but if this noise is going to be here permanently then I'm sending it straight back under my 7 day guarantee. It's so annoying, especially when you are trying to type .. all you can hear is this clicking noise.
I've had a Dell Inspiron before, and it never did this clicking noise and my mum has a Toshiba and hers doesn't do it.. is it normal for this model? If it isn't why the hell is it happening when I've only JUST got the laptop?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

No error codes. I tapped the bottom of the laptop case quite hard and the clicking sound stopped.. I think something has come lose during transit. How do I arrange for a replacement?

I contacted Dell Technical Support as well as Customer Services to arrange a replacement. They told me they would get back to me within 4 hours - still not heard anything.
