Comment on How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me)

Zip drives are known for the “Click of death” sound. If you hear it, it’s dead. You could probably google that term.

Well, yeah. That’s the one I fear.
But there seems to be 2 ways it can happen.
And I also found one blog post where it was caused by the 4 plastic prongs getting bent due to a stiff shutter on one of the disks, which was fixable by bending those back: www.siber-sonic.com/mac/Zip250fix.html
