Greetings.

Recently i bought a 2012 Macbook Pro 15" 9,1. Its a great little machine, 3rd get i7 2.7ghz, 16Gb ram, Nvidia GT 650 1GB, and the HR AG screen. But i noticed some ticking. Initially i thought it was coming from the machine as it usually happened after a click.
However I've just noticed its coming from the machines 85 Watt Power brick and more often now. Is the brick on it way out or?

any suggestions etc? thanks
 
Kinda sounds like the power adapter is getting ready to die. Take it in to get checked or just buy a new one.
