Samsung HN-M101MBB slider stuck on insde platter

[Murtazah]

I have 1TB Samsung HNM101MBB drive for data recovery. bottom 2 heads 0-1 are with out slider. After looking closely inside the platter those sliders are stuck to platters.

I tried to shake the drive to remove sliders but it could not come out. Is there any way to get those out so that I can replace the heads and read the drive.

I am planning to get below platter extractor and holder for 280$. my questions are 1. removing the platters and putting back what precaution I need to have? 2. Do I need to keep the vertical alignment accurate or little bit offset will work? 3. Are these platter holders safe for platters as these probably hold platter by magnet.

On the donor, first train.
This model does not always successfully transfer the permutation of the plates.

You can wash the adhered slider with liquid.

You have to know that tool you want to buy does not have basic option what original was made for.
Idea behind tool was not to make Christmas tree out of platters.
Idea was that you are able to spin them around and have support for cleaning them with cotton.
It was never made to be platter change support but platter cleaning tool.
Guys who copied it do not work in data recovery or do not understand what are needs. Don't buy something just because you see it on picture.
Think two times. Why would you buy something for 280 USD when you can just use 4 hdd chassis .
With out a thread to grip the platter it just does not have any sense....

You could try fishing line to snag and remove them, like Andy Watson shows in this article.

Well,
Doing This is a Piece of Cake .Tape the platters from two ends ,Take the platter assembly out and take out the sliders ,Its Not even 1 Dollar Cost if You Know How to do it ,If you are not experienced Learn it

I am using plastic stick to remove sliders without platters removing.

Thank you all for all your reply and suggestions.

Removed platters with the help of stickers, used the plastic stick to remove the slider and that's it.

Drive now imaging.
