My guess...the drive was misdiagnosed.

How do you know it isn't a head issue? What firmware version is the drive? Show us the terminal log when you power the drive on.

When you say "goes off", you mean "spins down"?

I see similar problem before with firmware LC15. After attempts to manually repair with 'm' command spindle stops. Be patient, spindle will start again and repair should complete.

This is assuming that, as lcoughey says, diagnosis is correct...
