Please don't let this happen to you!!!!!!

i dont use it but r u sure that was the problem? i just did a google search and couldnt find anything about it unless nobody ever posted it on the internet?

i'm sure it has never been addressed. But i have done my process of elimination and the speaker magnet is the only culprit i can come up with.

ahhhhh...well man that sucks ass. Hope there wasnt anything important on it :S

In my experience, a speaker magnet is not powerful enough to wipe a disk of any type, unless it is a huge woofer and you hold the media right up to it. Most likely there is another issue.

Never put any magnetic media near any type of speakers or CRT monitors.
