[QUOTE="mjvdl, post: 1019398, member: 147808"] [b]Could you please check the motion sensor[/b] Hello, I replaced the original harddisk of my macbook pro 13" (mid 2009) with a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB ST9500420AS hard drive. Since that the disk doesn´t get parked when a sudden motion occurs, although the motion sensor is still enabled and works (seismac). With the old disk I heard a "klick" when lifting the mbp to fast and the disk was "parked" I browsed several forums and have the following information right now: 1. In some cases the drive works with no problems at all. 2. Some people had problems with the ST9500420AS-G model, cause this one has an internal motion sensor that is incompatible with the one from Apple. Those people recommend the ST9500420AS, I am using. Is there any way to fix that problem? Should I use another drive? @Corato: Is your sms still working? Thanks for your help. Jürgen [/QUOTE]
