I booted up my laptop and noticed a brief clicking sound near the hard drive (SSD).
This happened after I attempted to use a USB hard drive adapter to see if my laptop could read data off a hard drive with physical damage. It didn't work. Instead, it attempted to load the failed hard drive for a few minutes. Then my screen went black with just the cursor present. So I removed the USB right away and the screen went right back to normal.
I don't know if this is causing the clicking noise or where it's coming from. I'm not sure if it's a fan or the inductor coil causing coil whine. I can rule out hard drive because I'm using an SSD rather than a HDD.
Is it coil whine or a fan issue? I'm not even sure if my "HDD experiment" caused this either.
Here's a video with the clicking sound. It's a bit quiet but it occurs at the three second mark:

Does anyone know what the clicking sound could possibly be? It only occurs after I power the laptop on or wakingit up from sleep mode, but never when I restart it. And is it possible to fix?
