I would go for BAD pcb.
If PCB is known to be good then it's either stiction or spindle, but i would start by trying with a new PCB and see if you can have it spinning.

Also you can try to insulate the head stack contacts to the PCB and see if it makes any diference. Do this particular if you try another PCB and get the same resoult.


Thanks for the reply Spildit, I already try a donor PCB with same results, I will try isolating the head stack contacts if the drive is still here I think the customer might have pick up his system already and might not get to try it, the data was not important I was just curious.

Oh btw love the new site great job
