 '''Word of warning:''' When you're servicing your drive it's very easy for the write pin to fall out.

The pin will fall out of the drive if you turn it upside down while working with it. It's very small and easy to lose, so it's important that you work with your drive on a desk or work surface and not, say, on your couch (where you won't even hear it falling).
