I guess that was too much for it. It did work a few days after that. Dunno if the trip caused it though. I tried to ride smooth :-)

Well, now it's working and I sure did a backup. Let's see if it dies completely.
A lot of important data was not lost after all.

What exactly am I supposed to twist? Wifes hard drive that contains all of our family pics has this dreaded beeping sound.

Thanks
