Hi,

This is a portable 1tb drive ST91000430AS, always busy with the following Terminal:

any clue on this?

New series with common problem : INVALID DIAGNOSE.

BIG clue : READ CAREFULLY THE LOG.

[Alexii]

Looks like you have spin error. Maybe no spin at all? Maybe sticktion? Thats just speculation on my part.

[unknown]

Most likely it's a sticktion, agree with Mr.Alexii.

Can you hear the drive spin up ?

[ragadatasolutions]

the drive is spinning fine.
no clicking, but a small hmmmm sound every 1 second once.

[ragadatasolutions]

any clue reg this hmmmmm sound?
Somewhere i read about shorting pins for ES2 drives.
But, the PCB layout was different.
Is this drive ST91000430AS (2.5") belong to ES2 series?

[Alexii]

I have no clue. Sry m8.

[BlackST]

I have one. Dropped drive ?

[N.C.]

the drive is spinning fine.
no clicking, but a small hmmmm sound every 1 second once.

damaged SA area!

The heads are slowing down the spinning (phisically) because of surface problem, and the drive can't reach the correct RPM.

I have this issue too on one drive. (partially recovered)

I thought about dropped drive. If so = pack imbalance and reading loss.

[U12VER-A]

I have this drive and same condition.

Only the hum is really an internal beep.
I guess the critter ain't spinning up then.

So PBC fix is out, it will have to be a head swap - yuck!

There goes a chunk of $$$-

Anyone found that the head arms could be fixed?

[thatdellguy]

Have you even looked inside yet?

[U12VER-A]

When next post will have had a look.
Maybe the head arms are stuck.

[U12VER-A]

OK - looks normal enough, no etching on top platter
Arm however is sitting on plate not in housing.
I guess if I spin it up I will see if new head is needed
or what.

[U12VER-A]

Certainly Stucktion.
However, while the drive behaves better.
Allowing for /2
and Z down.
the U gets another Spin Error.
So I'll try one other thing and then order head.

Unless a clue or tip is ready made in your mind...
