If a computer was on a slant and the harddrive was clicking you propped it up and the clicking has stopped should you still be worried about the harddrive dying?
Additionally, being on a slant should have no effect on your hard drive, or indeed any hardware in your computer. I cant imagine that damaging it. In fact in many computer cases the hard drive is mounted vertically or even upside down, this shouldn't cause any problems.
I wonder if perhaps it was something else that was clicking (say a stray wire in front of a fan) & maybe you just think it was the hard disk. The only way to know for sure is to open up the case, put your hand on the drive & see if you can feel the clicking coming through in vibrations on the hard disk.
In conclusion the "click of death" is a well known sign of a dying hard disk due to malfunctions in the read/write head assembly. You would do well to replace the disk as your primary boot device, theres no reason you cant keep using it for non-critical storage though.

What does the term Debug denote?
It's an old term that has just stuck around. The story is told of people who were working on one of the early computers. The computer suddenly stopped working and everyone started going over every component individually. That computer used mechanical relays to make many of the circuits function, and the story is that a moth became trapped in one of the closed relays. Since the moth wing did not allow the relay to function properly it had to be removed before the computer would work. From that experience came the term "bug". It was said that the computer stopped working because it had a "bug" in it. Of course it follows that once the "bug" was removed, the computer continued to work. From that came the term "debugging". The term is used in all aspects of computer hardware and software. Many programmers and computer professionalsstill use the term "bug" to describe any problem with computer hardware or code.

What causes a clicking noise in the rear air conditioner on a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT?
Apparently it is the rear air "blender" ( whatever that is(?)) My 2003 Explorer was making the loud clicking sound from the rear driver side above the rear left wheel. I lived with it for a month before I just found the answer on the net. I turned off the rear fan control (from the front controls) and the clicking has stopped. I guess there is no more air from the rear now but the clicking has stopped- Car is long been paid off and I'm happy again.
