I will give it a try.  Why not.?
I did read the etiquette,  but ignored the bios thing because I thought it
was too dangerous.
I recommend linking to updating bios if you want someone to do this.
If one has windows, it is really easy (on paper).

I researched how to do this and it seems easy enough although dangerous.
But I have flashed my tablet many times and I know brick in is a myth.  (I
am typing on a bricked tablet).

For the record, I did try to upgrade the kernel and it crashed on
install.., using apt and the standard repositories.  Version 30 I think it
was.  I used that opportunity to install lubuntu.

I am still interested in helping ubuntu and I tried to update a usb kernel,
but i cannot.
So I tried on my lubuntu just for fun..
Rc6 would not install properly BTW. I could recover using advanced options.

So I tried many things.

I will let you know if the bios update helps the ubuntu clicking.  I can
test on a usb live ubuntu without worrying about the kernel now.

Thanks for your help on ubuntu community.
If you need to see the message apt gave on rc6 failed install I can send it.
I might file a bug, but rc7 just came out.  And I will file the bug using a
4.2 kernel.

Title:
  clicking noise on acer 131t-c1yf

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My machine is solid state.
  I updated the intel graphics driver
  I update a few days ago via ubuntu udpater

  There is a subtle clicking noise coming near from the usb port.  The machine is solid state and the ubuntu is running from the sd card  The noise happnes with usb live boot too.
  The mint 17 usb makes the noise too and then warns me that that the graphics gpu will not be used and then the clicking stops.
   
  Lubuntu installed on top of ubuntu still makes the noise.
  Lubuntu live usb does NOT make the noise.
  Windows 10 does not make the noise.

  I suspect compiz, but ultimately I think it is a kernal problem.
  I suspect this is a CherryView Bug.

  
  This bug has been reported on ubuntu forums and ask ubuntu and no responses.
  I will be switching to Lubuntu in a few days unless I hear back from you.  I am technical and willing to help.
