Legitimate question. I think they had the Maxtor guys engineer this one.
I have a drive from Thinkpad T410 that is apparently dead, although I know these drives have on board accelerometers and it has been "stuck" once before, preventing any reading or writing.
Is there a way via firmware to observe the accelerometer or adjust the sensitivity via software from Seagate, Lenovo, or within Windows itself? It's too damn touchy, assuming the drive isn't outright dead. Maybe I can flash it or alter EEPROM data to reconfigure when it parks the read/right head.
Thoughts?
