If done properly, yes should work. To repair spindle it depends on what happened.

Just because the motor does't spin does not mean that the problem is with the spindle. Did you check PCB? Or do you mean spindle is stuck?

Check your PM.

U have a little hope the heads are on land zone thats good , and maybe its possible to "free" the spindle without platter exchange

Regards

Verify PM.

I have this exact same problem in my office right now. I have managed to release the stuck spindle (Very carefully.) but the drive still gives me the same symptoms.

According to current monitor there is a spike to ~900ma max for ~1 second then it will drop to 0, and a second later will attempt again.

I have a identical PCB on hand, and it give me the same results, also putting the PCB from this drive to a known good drive the drive will spin up fine (not identify of course, but spin up)

I am guessing that the circuit on the spindle itself is likely damage, I am here for any input I can receive.

It looks as if a platter transplant maybe in order for this drive.....sigh

you can try with a tool like this :

I have 100% for certain un-frozen the spindle at this point. It moved completely freely with no problems. But it seems the motor can still not spin the platters up; This is why I think the circuit on the spindle itself may have been damaged.

Yes i had check that change the PCB and test of course u know what u need to put on Donnor righ? , if heads was not moved by a dropped, u could be get look , spins and could be reach readiness unfortunely at 2 cases wich we receive was dropped, spindle stucked, heads moved to the begin of platter´s at both cases, we "free" the spindle, but not was sucess doesnt reach readines,s the another reach servo marks, but no SA, so we did platter swap, and same problem , still´s the problem , looks like excentricity problems

I think that it could be that the heads preamp burnt out, thus, it will need a headstack replacement.

I did. Platter swap against this model could be done, but with a lot of difficulties. Drive reached DRDY and DSC (with significant delay - not to mention humming sound) after platters and heads swap. I successfully cloned about 1,450,000,000 LBA sectors (+- 712 Gb) until it stopped working and heads starting to knock. Luckily 95% of most wanted data recovered.



Too difficult, I think it's painstaking and useless.
