Hi,

I have problems with a Hardcard hard disks, one of those that are thin
enough to slip in a slot. It does not start up anymore, and the sales
droid says that is because the oil in it dried (?) and hence the friction
that needs to be overcome at startup is too large.

Has somebody a solution for this? I thought of changing a ROM, that is, if
the ROM's contain info about the startup currents? Is this feasible? And
where can I get such a ROM?

Thanks,

Peter
