Hi guys,
I've got a samsung SP2514N which was fallen.
The spindle was seized an also the platters were not completely horizontal anymore.
I managed to get it rotating again and the horizontal movement is also much better now.
The drive spins up, tics once, then a whole time nothing, and then it starts clicking without end.
The terminal report in PC3KUDMA gives me this:
lltst 0000
SpnOk
spd: 0000 0000 0000
H: +00000
ADC: FFFE
DAC: 8088
SK C: 000175D7
ENG>SRV>
SvoTbl Loaded
Single Rty:0001
Single Rty:0002
Single Rty:0003
Single Rty:0004
Calib Fail
BF
FdtTbl Loaded
What is the conclusion? Heads damaged, to much movement of the platters...
This is a 2 platter drive, so platter swap is to delicate i guess.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Regards,
Dobre

If The Movement of The Platter is Not Not Horizontally Stable Nothing You Can Do
