HELP Seagate Barracuda Spindle Siezed

October 7th, 2007, 21:19

I have 2 drives with spindle siezure ..
I have the SalvationData Head Platter exchnger tool ,
but these drives have plastic spacers between the platters ,
and therefore the tool won't work .
Any suggestions , as the drives are completely frozen.
I have removed the bearing cap from one and oiled it ,
I even made a tool to help to turn the spindle ,
and nothing seems to help.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
Steve
