ST1000LM024 - possible stiction issue - where to fix in AU?

[inflex]

I have a ST1000LM024 which has come from an portable enclosure unit.

When it attempts to power up it produces perhaps a dozen or more short, fast soft-sounding beeps (about 10/sec). No platter spin-up that I can perceive.

Stiction perhaps? If so, recommendations on where to get it resolved so I can pass it on to my client so they can then deal with them directly?

Regards,
Paul.

No spin up + buzzing sound then definitely stiction.
These drives are also very prone to this kind of damage.

Thanks for the response. Do they typically end up needing new head assemblies, or do they just have the stiction resolved and then clone the drive? I suppose realistically it's too subjective to say one way or the other.

Hopefully someone here in AU will chime in with a local cleanroom who can do it.

They usually don't need a head transplant. But as you said, there is no general rule, it depends on what happened to the drive.
Generally they're good drives to work with.

Thanks. If I was over in Greece I'd send it over to you.
