DT01ACA200 case

May 25th, 2018, 3:16

Hi there!
I have a case that stucked, and need some brain fuse.
The patient drive is a Toshiba (Hitachi) DT01ACA200, and it's klicking, but i hear that the HSA can read something from SA before clicking.
I changed HSA. The donor is made in same year, and same month. The HSA sticker has a same code (0J21921/TS0079A).
After a head swap the patient still clicks. Changed PCB and the result is a same (clicking). Then i put donor HSA back to donor from patient, and the donor works fine with own heads.
Have somebody an idea what is going inside of patient drive, when everyting has changed and it's still clicking?
I have MRT, Sediv-Hitachi, and Atola for work on this drive
Thanks for any help

Thanks, but the donor heads are still alive.
...or do you mean magnetic damage? Or platter disalignment?

Well,
i have seen cases like this were toshiba just refuses to work .If platter was damaged your donor heads would have been toast now they are not .Something to do with compatibility .Can you check slider pattern on donor and patient .
