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

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.

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.

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.

ohh

i did not see that was a 7200.10 ....

ops...

i have made a tool for that problem.

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

Sorry can not give any details.

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

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