Samsung with spindle seizure

simons

Hi guys,

I've got a Samsung SP2514N which was fallen.
The spindle was seized an also the platters were not completely horizontal anymore.

I managed to get it rotating again and the horizontal movement is also much better now.

The drive spins up, tics once, then a whole time nothing, and then it starts clicking without end.

The terminal report in PC3KUDMA gives me this:

lltst 0000

spd: 0000 0000 0000

FdtTbl Loaded


What is the conclusion? Heads damaged, to much movement of the platters...

This is a 2 platter drive, so platter swap is to delicate i guess.

Any assistance is appreciated.
