Mine finally failed after 3 mos from new. I was setting it on the chair next to me after putting it in sleep mode. At first I would wake it and it would work for a couple of min then the click of the drive and it would go dark. I would restart it and everything was ok. While using it this time I noticed either the drive or the fan was gaining rpms until I thought it was going to either take off or implode then it went dark for good. every time I had the drive shut down before, it was after waking it up. I would see it go to sleep after I moved it so that must be the problem.
