Hi,

U are wrong :)
the agere IC is the reading/writing channel.
U should check the -5V power line if the drive is clicking with only this PCB.
I think somebody in DR businnes should have at least basic electronic education to recognize the parts, engineer level is recommended...

What?

I mean yes, check the converter wether it produces a stable -5V for the preamp!
