[N.C.]

Head and/or media is damaged.

[Zero Alpha]

Thanks n.c, i'm fortunate enough to have a donor ready. I will have a go at it tomorrow if customer wants me to go ahead and i'll post results

[Zero Alpha]

Update: Head swap has same problem. Can't see any md. PCB swap reports with slow clicking:

Patient heads in donor drive says:

Preamp ID 00 unsupported

F>

All numbers are matching so its got to be dead preamp right?

[N.C.]

no, your heads damaged, and the patient is not compatible.

[networkpc3000]

hi,
have you check platters before swap good head?

Surely you can not ask for a better match? I'll swap heads back to original drives and see what happens.

[N.C.]

You sad, some of the drives drops message about preamp ID.
This shows, the MHA is different!

Yes, this is a good idea to test the heads on the original place, this can give some information....
