ST31000340AS No terminal?

[Zero Alpha]

Hello gurus. I freed a jammed spindle on this drive and now get it to spin up slowly with noise. But I don't get any terminal output and it just does a couple of light clicks every 10-20seconds and stays busy. Is platter swap necessary?

Most likely. If shaft is bent there is no way drive can gain enough speed to get it into ready state. In old good times it was possibly to loose bearings just by manually turning platters forward and back. No more

Of course yes , and check both and the heads...
