hi forum
i am having an issue with a drive and wondering if anyone can shed some iight please

drive was dropped while in operation. opened the drive platters are not scratched but motor completely frozen.

the patient drive has no spacers.

i have a donor with same model number, same capacity, same part number but the donor drive has in it spacers, as it is a donor drive i am really concerned with a working motor only

i swapped the platters with salvation tools, swapped heads and pcb ( so i just used the donor chasis)

drive spins up, gives me busy and dsc light and the following log

the drive will not become ready and wont id.

is it nescessary to move the upper and lower magnet from patient to donor, i moved the top one only so still have the donor lower magnet with the donor chasis?

would there be any kind of difference that the donor chasin had platters with spacers in it as opposed to the patient with no spacers ? i dont see how this would make a difference.

any thoughts are welcome

thank you

AMR means Address Mark recquired if im not wrong, that could be meaning alignment problems

Hi have a drive with the same problem...


it looks like "vibration" does the drive spin it well ?

Thx for replies

Drive seems to spin well and balanced as I moved platters to working chasis
Will check alignment and post
