The clicking could be a fan or the HDD.
Did it have a drop or a knock recently?
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
This is what makes me think it might not be failing. I dont know what kind of debug things you can do on a laptop, so I'll let someone else do that.
If your HDD did die, then you will need another to use the laptop. It may be able to get data off of the old one, however dont get your hopes up.
