What?????

Please remember that I told U the solution when u brought those LCT20 and D540X drives for head replacement last october (yes, U provided the donor heads). If U call it 'figure out', well, that's a pity U. How can you expose this situation as if U had found out anything. Three months ago You knew nothing about why these drives why don't work after head replacement till the moment I gave U some info. U are still not able to do it yourself just have an idea of things, so don't say U are able to handle it.
I have the solution since 2004, which I must admit is not too long time, probably there are more knowledgeable people probably knew it ten years ago. But at least I did figure it out myself, and have the right equipment to do the process whenever needed, not just an idea.
We were talking on MSN about that you have to think twice before U say something because of your temper. So please do so.
I would have prefered to negotiate this in private, I tried to warn you about this issue being not too nice from your side in private, but that was useless as far as I see.

pepe,

You have partially right!

Yes, i know, You have the solution for a long time, You can do this job at the moment, You have done some jobs for me in the past wich needs the alignment, but never told me your solution and I never asked you about the solution as I remember!
Yes, I can agree, You have helped me a really little to figure out my own, but this is my own. :)
Additionally, you have right, at this moment, my solution is under testing, but the preliminary tests and the idea is guarantee the success, so I think, I can say, "i can handle it".
My solution is really precise, but needs really expensive parts units, and now i need jobs for pay back my tool.
Until this happens i will do jobs like this cheap.
It looks like, i (will) can do the alignment in 0.25 µm (250 nanometer) precise.
This is good enough in any drive wich are in the world at the moment. :)

Regards,
Janos

Thanks, but what product from that site is suited for measuring the alignment? There are a lot of products there! :roll:

I am guessing along the lines of the Digimatic Height Gage???

Hello,

I am back to this disk, i change heads again to the patient heads and the problem is the same.

I have to align the original heads or i can use one from donor?

I have one more disk equal, my question is , should i try to change it or forget ?


Thanks
ZeBong

yes, don't touch original heads, they are in the best possible condition :)

once U do any changes to the original MHA it will be ten times more difficult to recover.
U can try all your heads, but probably end up with no results.
