platters spin, heads arm dosn't move from park to platter

January 21st, 2015, 3:24

Hello,

I have a WD1600AAJS-75M0A0 that I changed the heads.

Now the I can see the platters spin but the head arm doesn't move from park to the platters. When I re-use the new heads in the donor drive, it works fine.

The donor have the same 4-to-7 DCM, same country, same model, and 6 months between the manufacture date of the 2 drives

Could the manufacture date be the problem? why the new heads doesn't even clicks. it doesn't move from park?

Regards,
