[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Whizzing on LaCie 30mg drive

fadushin@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Phred Dushin) (01/03/91)

My LaCie 30mg cirrus drive has begun to emit a high-pitched
whizzing sound occasionally.  The sound is at a lower frequency 
than the drive itself, and it comes and goes every 5 minutes
or so.  It sounds like it may be the fan.

Should I give the fan bearings a dose of lithium grease?

Has anyone had a similar problem?

The drive has been running almost constantly now for about two years.
I bought it in September of 1988.  Not bad, LaCie, but I would
like to solve this problem.

I wouldn't if I were you.  Urine conducts electricity; you might get a nasty 
shock.
