Hehehehehehehehe, really ?
Please read my post................
HEAD CLENNER IS because you will not find PLATTER cleanner.
This is what is all about. Noone will be nuts and will try to use cotton to clean heads, all that is about is Plater clenner.
Heads Clenner is a solution that is used to clean magnetic heads cleanning and thsi solution was used to clean VCR heads , you can use the solution to clean surface thas has magnetic dyan.
When I write - please try to read - I allways suppose that this one day will happen, but unfortunately I'm wrong.

I also put in my post - in England..... why because has website form UK that has the solution and also some text about magnetic cleanners.

Here is not possible to give info, here is a place that what is needed is the recipt.

And people has the courage to say that I and some others has afraid of others companies, please guys give me a breake.

I only comes here ( at the englsih part ) to try to help. But seams to me that this is not possible.
Is to hard to teach .... people that do not want to learn.

Sorry, but I'm really tyred, is not possible too much time for nothing....

These brushes were made from killed squirrels, so does it matter?

Hi,

Acetone will not solve anything from the surface and will not leave remainders if you are smart enough.

anyway, I am interested in what others use for this purpose, but this topic was not about this.
Sorry if I hijacked it.

Hello Tony,

I just need to learn some information from you.
The head need to clean? If I not mistaken, the head won't get dirty.
The only is spoil or run out positioning.

Is it we can changing a head by ours hand? no need use any
machine to assemble and disaassemble? Or do you have any
equipment can be recommanded?

I have tried many time of changing of platter and head but fail. Never ever success. ( I mean few platter and head, not Slim type HDD like Maxtor N40P, ARES and Athena).


Thank you.

I don't know why you are laughing, Jose. Email to acelab and you will get the same response...

As far as I know, most of the companies do not use any liquid to clean heads (if there is ANY requirenment to do so). They use brushes only.

It's very rare when the heads get dirty, however I've seen a couple under the microscope and it was clearly seen that there was dust from the disk platter that accumulated right around the reading head.
This is what you clean.

Cheers.

Please, this is the last time. READ MY POST.

What do you mean? Why are you getting so angry?

Why ?, because since my firts answer in this post I was talking about
PLATTER none once I talk about HEAD.
And all that I gott was that HEADS is this HEADS is that.
I just sayed since the first begening that has a way to clean PLATTER and to do this has some info at UK website, also Dan the guy from Ultratrec already talked about this job.
So why?, just because this is my answer number 4 or number 5 and I still need to say that I'm talking about cleanning PLATTER.

Jose,

You need to take it easy and relax a little bit.
I didn't reply to YOUR topic. I replied to OTHER PERSON who mentined about cleaning the head...

Why are you so angry all the time? This is the forum and not the jail...
Relax.

I dont see anything about "platters" in your post and before your post I just see people talking about heads... mabbe you should reread your post ... maybe you thought that "to deal with disks" was clear enough.. but it wasnt at least for me... and it seems I'm not the only one

If Jose could just tell us what he uses....instead of telling others what they must not do... it would be pleasant.

I don't use anything and have found that avoiding floating particles by keeping the platter covered with a clean plate works.

If the client is prepared to pay - clean room.

btw. the experts do clean heads because particles adhere and affect fly-height : ref - Google.

I also found a big UK company which talks about :

"...remove the platters and do some sort of cleaning.." !!

I could give an answer, I could say many things. But I will not.
I think that here has a lot of guys that know more them me about heads and exchange heads and platters.
So they will answer and they will give the info that all you need.
Now I will move myself to others places.
I just finish here.

Oh,that's interesting!I am a new comer,and come to DR just recently.There must be may difficulty ahead,so will you do me some favor?

That's a great news Jose !

common guys we will be losing everybody soon.
Jose was not saying too much it's true but i don't think he must say here.

This time he is upset for nothing. It was hard to understand what he was meaning.

All i found about magnetic heads cleaning is isopropyl applied with chamois sticks.

Jose are not angry and his the guys open minded and helpful.

And why this make you so happy?

I agree.

Why this disput is so misunderstanding? What says all the guys? It is possible to clean platters and it is possible to clean heads. Also it is possible to resolder commutator chip and to do head swap. Why this disput is so long? No basis under this.

Sorry
