If you go to xlr8yourmac and look up Toshiba and IBM hard drives for
Wallstreet you can get links to the modding info you need to fix this
problem. Basically you are going to need to use a non-conductive piece of
metal as a shield for the side of the new hard drive where the magnet lives,
and you might have to reset the magnetic switch with another magnet.
I have this problem on my WallStreet. I decided not to fix it. Most of the time it will wake up okay. In those cases when it doesn't I just rotate the computer 90 degrees, hit a key and it wakes. It's either the motion releasing the reed switch or the effect of the earth's magnetic field.
