Hello Internet,

 

So I just turned my Laptop on (It's an old Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1N1) and before it had even started windows (10) and it was showing me the manufacturers loading screen it started squealing without stop. It wasn't the disk drive. Can anyone help

 

Thanks

Is the sound coming from the speaker? Does it sound like a fan? If you know it isn't the HDD then what else do you think it is?

The sound is coming from the right side of the speaker and I said it wasn't the disk drive not the HDD

If it's an older laptop that has been moved around a lot in the past, my first go-to location of such noises would be any HDD's inside.

Ok, right click your task bar then launch task manager.

 

From here, navigate to the "performance" tab I believe and click your HDD. Most likely C:

 

While monitoring the graph of your HDD, do you hear the squealing noise as you see the graph moving? (HDD being active) @Splodge1231

What kind of noise is it exactly? Very loud and non-stop? Or is it a "clicky" noise that comes and goes fairly fast. Like "ticktickticktick urrrrrrg tickticktick" lol.
