Model : 2B020H1 11A 06A 52AWAH21PB0
Date : 23AUG2001
Some time ago we received some of these drives showing
the typical spin-up , spin-down phenomenon.
With the first of these drives we decided to check if the problem might rest with the PCB.
We took a perfectly good PCB from an identical drive and fitted it to the faulty drive.
Results :
New PCB fried - intense heat at some resistors - no spin.
If you allow the intense heat to continue for some time the components will fail completely and the drive will spin-up and down again.
Conclusions :
If you have a spin-up spin-down problem with the Maxtor 2B02H1 drive - a board replacement will not solve the problem.
Hopes this helps to save some PCB's.
