- We have an original SE with a 20 MB internal hard drive (Miniscribe).
- From time to time, the drive whines like a turbine engine. It comes
- and goes. We now leave the mac on 24 hrs/day, in case it might
- refuse to spin up some day.
-
- It doesn't souns like stiction to me, more like bearings. Is this
- something I can fix or lubricate?
