Hi

I have this disk, that was ons a USB enclosure and it fell down.
It's doing a bbzzz-bzzz, I think it's spindle (check the image of Power Situation)

Connected to the Doctor it's found, but always busy.

Tried to do the ES.2 Solution, but i get always this on terminal:


F3 T>/2

F3 2>Z


LED:000000CE FAddr:002802A1

LED:000000CE FAddr:002802A1
F3 T>/2

F3 2>U


LED:000000CE FAddr:002802A1

LED:000000CE FAddr:002802A1
F3 T>/1

F3 1>N1


LED:000000CE FAddr:0028DFBB

LED:000000CE FAddr:0028DFBB

What's the answer??

Thanks

No amount of terminal jiggery-pokery is gonna fix a stuck spindle!

SD is picking up the model and s/n from the PCB.

12V current = 0 mV ?????

Clean room work required...

lol SD's trying to say 0 mA on 12 volt

sometimes means HDD IS eat up high current
from power output of the device
(damage old and out of spec resistors or stuck / weak motors,...) .
It suppose to cut of power as a protection measure
usually the controller IC runs very hot in this case
however the drive may still work supplying enough current
if not stuck depending on situation.

(Grinding off the bearing cap or wedging bearing)

Does this work on only the Barracuda IV? Could you fill a replacement cap with grease and epoxy it onto such a drive, and reliably use the drive?

Try it and let us know

just make sure that it has noway to leak reach platers.
Is that an actual DR guide?
I think you got some seconds before leakage
if you use solid hart temp. grease.

Yes, it's a recommended procedure, straight from Ace Labs.

But there are much safer and more efficient options to deal with this fault

'recommended' ? Maybe in some case not in general. Ah, ATA IV , not else...
