Hi,
I'm looking for a passive component which indicates to me if a device underwent one shocks significant. The purpose is to limit the warranty for a device. I heard that there is such component on motherboard or hardisk, but that's all. I don't know the name of such component and the manufacturer. Someone have some information above that? Thanks for help

Does it exists in smd?
I would be reluctant to accept such a device, unless I could inspect the state of the shock sensor when I got it.
There are other PCB mount types but not in SMD and expensive.
"Shock watch"es have a little window that turns red if it has been shocked. These can be placed so that they can be seen but are hard to replace.
DEC used small capsules inside computer equipment boxes. They changed color after a heavy shock. Google might turn up something. Look at
