AE High Density 3.5" Drive: Broken...

[emumford@nyx.cs.du.edu (Eric Mumford)]

Hi.. My AE 3.5" HD drive broke a while ago.  Here are some symptoms for you
hardware hackers:

When I go to format a new disk, the LED turns ORANGE instead of red, formats
a couple tracks, and then throws an error code at me.

When I insert a disk, it can neither read nor write to it.

It can catalog ONE 3.5" disk I have, the one that was in the drive at the time
(I think: My little brother 'broke' it.)

When you put a disk in, it makes clunking sounds.  Sometimes continues the
sounds even when the drive is not being accessed.

I have a lot of stuff archived on HD disks and would like to get it fixed.  
Do you periphial wizards have any suggestios, or should I just throw up
the rag and call AE Customer Service and have them fix it?  Thanks!
