[iBook] how series is this hard drive problem?

[Gregory Martinez]

All I know is that SMART tests are supposed to warn about imminent 
hardware problem. I would take precautions to save copies of important 
files if I were you.

There is a Micromat forum at MacFixit.com forums. A techies from 
Micromat answers questions there.
