Hi to all,

Have this disk that the first it looks like a motor stuck.
When i open it i see that the motor was not stuck, them i give power with the disk open and help the spindle to spin.
Close the lid , take to the UDMA and try to power it it spin but no ID.

I notice that the PCB was a little "HOT" in the red box in the pictures.

I have seen similar but in .11 1.5TB seagate.
The spindle is damaged and requires more power to spin than the pcb was designed.
If the damage lets the axis to vibrate enough than the eccentricity is the additional problem.
If the vibration is too much the heads can damage as well.
