Mark I sent you an email regarding some very obscure amplifiers that have been deemed impossible to repair. Please, you're the only person who can fix them!

Never a good start to open something up and see a Seagate Barracuda hard drive inside. The flashbacks...

Not to mention the filth all over the inside of the bottom plate that looks like dust mixed with dried up beer.

I swear half of all people have some horror story about WD and the other half some horror story about Seagate. And now they're the only two options (other than Toshiba), so maybe the one bad drive you guys had 20 years ago was a fluke and not a series of IBM Deskstars.

Always sad to see kit in such a state. I honestly don’t know, apart from the graffiti and of course terrible soldering how stuff gets in such terrible condition? Looks like it’s been stored in a very damp shed. Another excellent video as always. Look forward to pt.2.

Hello Mark. I'm very interested in your Isolated Test Socket. Did you post a video about it? Is there any schematics available? Thank you.
@TheManLab72 сағат бұрын
I'd take every board out and test everything first because someone (probably the owner) tried to do a recap and ended up just ducking it up. Because you was going to send it to Mark to get it repaired. You should of got Mark to recap it as he'd have everything in stock n wouldn't destroy the boards in the process.

Most often the hdd fails, you need a linux computer with pata connector to write an image to a new drive. Good luck finding an original hdd backup files.

I wonder if that 5V line being 24V fried something on the digital board or within the hard disk itself. See what the 5V line that was bad was feeding. You might have something blown. Another possibility is that the hard disk only spins up when it is accessing files and playing music and does not spin when the device is not playing music. You might also put that hard disk in a computer and see if it spins up or is readable. I am not sure if these use a common format or whether they use a proprietary disk format. Some dedicated device hard drives are readable on computers and some are not. I am not expecting that a PC or Mac would boot off it but it is possible it might regonize it as an external drive. Another possibility might be the hard drive is toast and putting a new drive in it (or possibly an SSD) would fix it.

Haven't finished watching but that kinda immediate start and stop on a PC would usually mean some kinda short protection, so I would assume something that's failed closed.

Those old IDE hard drives had issues with aging motor bearing lube. As they aged, the spindle lube would become gummy causing the spindle on the motor for the platters to get stuck. A temporary fix (to recover the data) was to take the drive out and manually spin the whole drive assembly to try break the motor spindle loose. It mostly worked, but not always. If you can't find a problem with the supply, it might be worth a try. Good video!

remember this working a very very long time ago. Number one thing to do though when attempting this is to have long power and data cables, otherwise you end up with more problems when you yank the connectors out 😆

It's obviously not that (or stiction) as you can hear the drive spinning at the correct speed. No click of death either - I would bet the HDD is fine
