The 72 meg hard disk in our 3B2 XM makes a terrible rattling sound.  It
is intermittent, possibly changing with the room temperature, or maybe
just random.  It sounds as if it needs a squirt of oil.  However, it
operates just fine.   
   
Is there an exposed bearing that can be oiled?  Will it eventually fail?


						Thanks!
