i got this drive and the head is stuck.. fix done
but it can't spin. then i try to test the PCB, no output power from 4 point that connect to the motor.
i search for the donor and got it. all are same only SN is different.

i am not sure that i can just swap the PCB or not. i heard that i must solder and unsolder ROM Chip or CPU.
can you help me which one the ROM that i must unsolder n solder to donor pcb.
no. 1 or no. 2

Hi,

How did you measured this?
The spindler is servo motor, not working with DC power.

hardly anyone knows what a oscilloscope :roll:


if im right number two chip is a bga type you wont be able to remove
as the solder is under the chip itself so no pins are shown




special tools can remove that chip like what we use :mrgreen:
