Can no longer access (and a clicking sound)

So this afternoon I started hearing this clicking noise, originally sounded like there was a cricket in the house. When I realized it was my Antsle, I tried to connect to AntMan and couldn't. Attached monitor shows nothing, that is, it is blank.

I disconnected the power and waited a while, plugging it back in did not change anything.

It is about 6 years old, it has both an SSD and HDD.

Any advice on what I can do to get her up and running again?

Hi @madpink

The "clicking sound" could indicate a bad / defective hard drive (HDD).

However, our standard configuration for antsle's has two mirrored HDD's and two mirrored SSD's.  So it's possible that only one drive (HDD) is bad and making the clicking sound.

You can try performing fresh install (or factory reset) that will bring your antsle to latest edgeLinux and antMan:
