Hi John, We just recently upgraded all of our 2620, 2621 and 2650 routers and every one of them and the clicks when the flash was erasing. I did this with and without cisco's and third party flash and each time I have heard the clicks. I haven't done any research on it (don't have the time) but could it be from the electrical charge being created to erase the flash? These routers have been in production for about 3 months now and I haven't heard a peep out of them. They have been working like champs.

I just put some new flash memory into a brand new 2620 router. I then used tftpdnld from ROMMON to download a new IOS image. After the download the router erases flash memory. While erasing flash, a click emanates from the router near the flash stick at each sector. I tried this again in a different brand new router with more brand new flash and I got the same result. I then put the Cisco flash stick back in and it still clicks. I've never heard a router -- or anything else, for that matter -- click during flash operations. Have any of you experienced this? Should I be worried? I'm about to ship these two routers out to two new branches and I'd hate for them to die prematurely.
