You see nothing after 'Buzz'? Is disk spinning?

[Kum Ruzvelt]

Disk doesn’t spin. When I turn the power on, I can fill like vibration and buzzing noise and after 20 seconds one beep.

Sounds like stuck heads to platter or motor jammed.

[Kum Ruzvelt]

How much force I need you use if is head stuck? This will be my first time for this, maybe will be painful

Thanks for your support, this is incredible good forum.

[zebong]

you do not need too much force.

but i must tell you that you can have some errors with that situation "pendind error" or similiar.


Good Luck.

zebong, can you give me more info about your tool.

[zebong]

Sorry can not give any details.

[Kum Ruzvelt]

OK, I completely understand you. I will inform you about results.

[drc]

90% of time it is not heads stuck, but platters stuck. This job needs pro help.

[Kum Ruzvelt]
