I had the dreaded "No harddisk found, contact support" again this morning. This time however the hard drive was not spinning up.

Hopefully it just means the cable had finally come completely adrift from the hard disk.

Unfortunately I can't get the front of the unit off to have a look. I have removed three of the bolts holding the front on, but the last one won't come off. The mounting post that the bolt screws into has come loose, so when I turn the screw to undo it the mounting post just spins around and therefore the bolt won't undo.

I have tried to wedge the mounting post with a few things, but I can't get a good enough grip on it to hold it in place while I unscrew the bolt. I don't have a wrench/spanner small enough to fit into the gap.

Does anyone have any suggestions ?
