[comp.sys.mac.hardware] HDFD Burn Out

Well, just when I needed my SE/30 the most, it bums out.  It seems
the motor(?) for ejecting the disk has burned out.  I was shocked
to eject a disk, hear no characteristic clanking, and see it re-mount.
Too bad I let my AppleCare laps a couple months ago.  I should have
re-newed, remember the problems in my first five months, having to
get the CRT replaced three times and the video board once.  My //e
ran for 5 years (almost day and night) before I blew the power supply.
Enough rambling, now serious questions...  How serious is this drive
problem?  Anyone had similiar problems?  How much did it cost you (
only people who let their AppleCare go need reply)?

(And to think the machine dropped 2k in price since when I bought it.)
