I think you recieved the drive from another company tried to free the heads already and failed, am I right ?

[zebong]

no the drive was close not open.


When i try to free the heads they where really stuck in the platte.

I am change heads now, and get the data.

I also just received such a WD1600BEVS. Same observation. Same problem. Client said was dropped while powered on. In my case only slider of H3 was lifted and stuck to platter.

I've seen this exact same situation after a "percussive maintenance" on a wd1600bevs with probable head stiction....
