Derek - I had dropped my Neuros N1 about6 weeks ago. and I kept getting a clicking noise and it wouldn't come on for more than 1 second. I went to the forums and they suggested the short sharp shock to the side of it. I tried this and there was no improvement. I took it apart and took the HD out reassembled it and still nothing. So I ordered a new Hitachi 20G HD and everything went well as stated in the DIY section of cool4u2view. But now I get the same Fatal Error that Trevor got. I tried going into Safe Mode and that doesn't help. I tried the smack again nothing. Any suggestions? I ahte to think that I threw good money away on a new HD. I love my N1, i was only up to "G" of the 3 or 4 thousand song I had on it. [8]
