I sold one of these on eBay and it worked perfectly when it was listed... when the buyer received it, he had the following question:
"Okay, so I unpackaged the drive, and as I was taking the drive out of the bubble wrap, I heard rattling in the case. A piece could be heard sliding around, clearly not connected. I opened the case and found a metal piece that is "U"-shaped, with little tiny black rubber-like rectangular pads on one side at the bottom, and each side of the metal piece. The piece is about 1 inch across and 3/4 inch top to bottom, and a fraction of an inch thick. Any idea what this is? I have looked for a service manual and cannot find one. I am hesitant to power up the drive with this piece not connected."
Can anyone help identify what this piece is? I can't get a pic from him because FeeBay won't allow me to send him my email address.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Roger
