click of death
(jargon) | click of death
n.
A syndrome of certain Iomega ZIP drives, named for the clicking noise that
is caused by the malady. An affected drive will, after accepting a disk,
start making a clicking noise and refuse to eject the disk. A common
solution for retrieving the disk is to insert the bent end of a paper clip
into a small hole adjacent to the slot. “Clicked” disks are generally
unusable after being retrieved from the drive.
The clicking noise is caused by the drive's read/write head bumping against
its movement stops when it fails to find track 0 on the disk, causing the
head to become misaligned. This can happen when the drive has been
subjected to a physical shock, or when the disk is exposed to an
electromagnetic field, such as that of the CRT. Another common cause is
when a package of disks is armed with an anti-theft strip at a store. When
the clerk scans the product to disarm the strip, it can demagnetize the
disks, wiping out track 0.
There is evidence that the click of death is a communicable disease; a “
clicked” disk can cause the read/write head of a "clean" drive to become
misaligned. Iomega at first denied the existence of the click of death, but
eventually offered to replace free of charge any drives affected by the
condition.
