I have an M17x R4 for over 2 years now and havent had any power related issues so far. But lately my power adapter box has been creating a very faint ticking sound, and the ticks increase the more load the laptop is under (ex gaming). So far i've tried different power sockets and tried it when it was unplugged from the laptop but the ticking is still there. Now, i'm not sure if this ticking existed before as i've never noticed it, for all i know it could've always been like that, but i looked it up on the internet and people say that when power adapters do clicks/ticks it usually means it is dying. So what should i do here? The thing is out of warranty, and i dont want to spend so much money on a new power unit if it's unnecessary. Advice??, opinions?? Edit: keep in mind, the sound is Very Very faint, i can only hear it from about 40cm away and closer.
