I'm in scammy "Central Florida" and our shops never scam people...that being said, when you hear a click like that it is almost always an unseated processor, or an incompatible processor. Pull the processor out, make sure the machine is on a nice level surface. Clean the processor pins with rubbing alcohol (lightly) and use a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the processor slot, then place the processor in the slot...make sure it lines up and press FIRMLY (harder than you think) down to seat it. You should be able to tell that it is all the way in. If you have never done this before I would be willing to bet that it is not seated all the way into the slot. IF that fails...repeat the process with the stock processor and see if it boots up. Kyle H.
