	Try calling Seagate at 1-800-468-3472.  I tried when my ST157N
	did exactly the same thing (except I got 8 blinks) after only
	1 month of use.  I could never get through to technical support.
	The line was always busy.

	Since mine was still under warranty, I just had it replaced by
	Lyco Computers (where I bought it - I was very satisfied with their
	service and prices).
