Very nice...as would be expected from you. Do you plan to make adapters so that the one device can work for other brands/models of drive?

thanks man.
I would like to but I need to know for what drives. Seems like seagates are 99% not 90 at least here...

The only drives I've seen in my country with seized spindles are Seagates. Seen a lot of Samsungs and WDs that have been dropped or knocked over whilst powered on and didn't suffer from a seized spindle.

By the way Mr Helpdisc, I got the headswap tools from you yesterday and tried them out. Very nice :D

As this is only part of a process, to get feedback on if its even worth releasing


I agree with the above statements. This looks interesting and if it is at a low cost many people will give it a try.
If the results are good, then word of mouth will make it very popular.

Keep us posted ;-)

Our Seagate jammed spindle tool is finally complete

Now we are looking to see how many people are interested in this product

Here is a little more info

We have designed a method of replacing the entire base on jammed Seagate hard drives with the heads, platter & dividers intact retaining the original alignment, in a cost affective manner

We have tested this tool on many 500GB to 2TB jammed spindle Seagate drives by replacing the bad base with a good functioning base with 100% success... hence the name (basereplace)

If you are interested please email
basereplace@gmail.com

after we evaluate the number of interested parties we will then be factual on cost
all further details will only be released to those on this list so we don’t waste anyone’s time

This product will only be released first to those on this list...

All inquiry’s and purchases will be keeped confidential

Kind regards

I would imagine that people would want to see the product and get an idea of how it works before thinking of purchasing one.
