hello all!

I have a samsung hard disk that has suddenly started to do the classic sound of the crash of heads and no longer wants to start

start- tak tak tak - pause - tak tak tak tak - pause - and continues until you turn it off.

(number of tak is random, sometimes it's just 1 or 2 or 3-4 consecutive)

is certainly a problem of heads or may be the controller of the PCB that can be broken?

thank you very much

You have the best Samsung expert right there in Italy BlackST. If you need help on this before you attempt to do anything that should not be done contact him. He will help you out for a very reasonable price on this one. He is not far so this should be easy for you to get help from him.

@Darknight, it sounds like you are describing a stiction fault (heads stuck to platters), or a seized spindle bearing.

@fzabkar, tak tak tak sound is never a sticktion problem. sticktion sounds like 'bleep bleep bleep' :lol:

The sound the OP is describing is definately a head problem and it's the sound you get when the headstack sways from one side to the other and hits the end stops.

thanks for your kind answers ....
I do a video with sound that makes the hard disk to identify the problem?

If I provide a clean room is possible to replace the heads?

there is the possibility that it may be the disk controller pcb?

how can I get in touch with blackst?

thanks

BlackST is here on the forum. Not sure you can send him a PM. I will show him that you are looking to get in touch with him and see if he will send you a PM on this one.

As for you to change out this out with no experience you will not make it. Better to let him do this one for you if your data means anything to you.
