need help with central air system

[Semidevil]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay, so I have no idea about air conditioning or how it works, and I dont know any of the technical terms, so I'll do my best with pictures.

So in the hallway is where the air is flows in: I open the grill, and I took out the air filter:

notice the big hole. there is also a 'smaller hole' on the bottom(see the small hole and notice that it is closed).

from what I gathered. When the A/C is turned on, or when our air cycler activates, the small hole starts to open up. It open up halfway(I imagine to let air in). It opens up halfway(maybe less) and then closes quickly, making a fairly loud popping/thumping sound.

why is it doing that all of a sudden? whats wrong? what do I do to fix it?

I came in this thread just to make a mouse comment, but you ruined it.

That's just the sound of the mouse popping out of it...

First step, don't fucking touch anything. Don't fiddle, jiggle or move anything. The reason for that is because you have no clue what you're doing and when you mess it up, the costs to fix it will be higher.

Hiring a professional HVAC guy to come to your house and check out/fix your problem will run you less than $100.
Yes being a "do it yourselfer" is great, but your HVAC system isn't your little project on the side to fuck with.

I know you've been here long enough to know NOT to cloud the issue with facts or sensible advice...

I wish...I actually miss that stuff...

The closest I get to running cranes nowadays is playing HL2...
