A few months back, someone posted that they hear this clicking sound when they press on the D-Pad, especially when they press it near the center. Unfortunately I can't remember who that was or what thread it might have been.
Anywho, having just opened my Pandora to try and fix the LCD cable, I did some inspection and discovered a rounded pin right in the middle of the D-pad, there to prevent the user from mashing down hard on the d-pad and pressing all four directions at the same time. The clicking sound is this pin making contact with the board, that is all. Nothing is catching on anything, or pushing wrong or whatever, it is simply the stop pin doing what it was designed to do. So whomever reported that clicking sound, I think you can rest easy.
