	Click of death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The click of death is a failure mode typical of Iomega Zip drives.
		In all cases, the click of death is characterized by a noticeable clicking or buzzing sound and is usually caused by a head crash.
		Iomega received thousands of complaints about the click of death, but denied all responsibility — often claiming, to the fury of Zip drive owners, that the problems were caused by the use of (functionally identical) third-party media.

		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.
		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.

	Legal Definitions of Death (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The common law standard for determining death is the cessation of all vital functions, traditionally demonstrated by "an absence of spontaneous respiratory and cardiac functions." There is, then, a potential disparity between current and accepted biomedical practice and the common law.
		Time of death is a fact to be determined with all others in each individual case, and may be resolved, when in doubt, upon expert testimony before the appropriate court.
		Death is to be pronounced before artificial means of supporting respiratory and circulatory function are terminated and before any vital organ is removed for purpose of transplantation.

		Users report data loss and a repetitious clicking noise, after which the drive will no longer function (thus, this problem was dubbed the "Click of death" by an unknown user).
		Upon removal of the casing it was found that a small, square silver switch with a fl button was producing the 'click of death'.
		A source who has identified himself as a former Iomega technician has said the clicking sound is caused by the read/write head bumping against its movement stops--bumpers that keep the head within its intended range--while searching for and not finding track 0 on the Zip disk.

	What IS the "Click Of Death"? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Click Of Death, Click Death, and COD are names describing the first symptom of a set of serious data threatening problems being encountered with increasing frequency among users of Iomega's Zip and Jaz removable media mass storage systems.
		Without any warning a Click Of Death drive begins emitting a series of audible and distinctive clicking sounds, either when a cartridge is first inserted or when attempting to read or write data to or from a previously inserted cartridge.
		The word "Death" appears in the names for this problem since that's exactly what occurs in real life: Minutes, hours, or days after the clicking is first heard, the drive -- and usually one or more of the user's cartridges -- suddenly dies without warning.

	Biology, Consciousness, and the Definition of Death
		This standard is often met prior to whole-brain death, which includes death of the brainstem -- that part of the brain which allows spontaneous respiration and heartbeat but is insufficient for consciousness.
		The concept of death applies not only to humans, but also to nonhuman animals and plants; it is a biological fact that all organisms live and die.
		Perhaps a reconstruction of the term "death" is justified in its application to the special case of human beings.

		Also correct me if I am wrong, but the real "click of death" was a head problem in the drive, which was terminal and wrecked every disk inserted.

		The death from a heart attack of 28-year-old ice skating champion Sergei Grinkov could help doctors unlock the secrets of his tragic condition.
		The gene is carried by approximately 20% of the population, and as such early deaths are incredibly rare, there must be other factors at work.
		The eventual aim is not just to identify those few whose genetic makeup puts them at high risk of early death, but also to help patients who have survived a heart attack avoid another one.

		Each religion's death beliefs are prefaced by a concise background or history, putting the information on death beliefs into context.
		Then, on the basis of a nondualistic distinction between mind and brain, which makes the idea of life after death conceivable, he examines five types of evidence for the reality of life after death: messages from mediums; apparitions; cases of the possession type; cases of the reincarnation type; and out-of-body experiences.

		If your Zip or Jaz drive begins emitting a series of audible and distinctive clicking sounds, either when a cartridge is first inserted or when attempting to read or write data to or from a previously used cartridge, it is time to worry.

	Click of Death
		Continued clicking is a symptom of an unreadable disk, usually one which has been damaged by a Zip or Jaz drive incorrectly writing to the disk.
		COD can also be cause by strong magnetic fields or the lubricant on the disk decomposing, leaving deposits on the drive head, which magnetizes the heads and causes them to come together early, running into the edge of the disk medium itself.
		COD is not something most users can expect to see, but every Zip and Jaz user should be prepared for it.

		A substantial number of Zip Drives have developed a problem commonly known as the “Click of Death,” which renders the Drive useless and damages the disk such that any data on the disk is lost.
		It appears that the Click of Death can damage an otherwise unaffected Drive by the use of a disk that is already corrupted.
		You put that "Clicked" disk in another Zip drive that has never had this problem and it tries to read/write to some of the damaged (bad) blocks on it created by the "clicking" and it starts "clicking" too.

	Amazon.com: The DENIAL OF DEATH: Books: Ernest Becker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the end I did feel that Becker got somewhat carried away with his insight that the denial of death is the key to understanding people's deepest neuroses - he took it to what I felt was the extreme that it is simply impossible to transcend the denial of death.
		People who have had near death experiences in many cases seem to have overcome the fear of death, people who have mastered Eastern disciplines like meditation have done the same, and finally self-actualized people who simply live knowing that they are souls having a physical experience can also overcome the angst of physical mortality.
		The denial of the absolute uncertainty of death (and uncertainty in general) could thus be a more profound form of denial.

	With Iomega Zip and Jaz drives, what is the Click of Death?
		"Click of Death" is the colloquial term for the distinctive sound that a Zip drive's read head makes when it becomes misaligned and cannot read a Zip disk.
		The sound is caused by the head repeatedly hitting the end of its range in an ineffectual attempt to find the first track of the disk.
		To protect yourself from the Click of Death, use the Iomega Tools diagnostics on the CD that came with your drive.

		I took off my earphones and every time it happened, I heard the hard drive make the same clicking noise that it makes when it turns off (no difference that I could tell), and then after 5 seconds it would spin back up.
		I'm pretty sure it was the turn on/off click, and not an "abnormal" click, although it was happening very abnormally.

		The hiccup of death, as I prefer to call it, can be overcome with just a few simple tools, including a Power Macintosh computer and a copy of Norton Utilities.
		You stick a Zip cartridge in a drive and instead of making the soft click that signals the drive is recognizing the cartridge, it begins an unending and maddening series of obnoxious clicks.

	IOMEGA ZIP - CLICK OF DEATH
		Like the predictable snap of a camera, a "click" from a Zip drive is normal when a Zip user inserts or ejects a Zip disk, or when a file on a Zip disk is saved or accessed.
		However, repetitive clicking is a symptom of a damaged drive or disk.
		When you click the "Diagnose Now" (Windows 95) or the "Push to Diagnose" (Mac OS) button, it starts a drive function test and reports "Passed" or "Failed." If Diagnostics reports "Failed," you should contact Iomega technical support.
