Freeplay ST1000LM010 Nothing in terminal window
Posted: 05.02.14, 15:02
I have Freeplay ST1000LM010 9YH146-550 CC9F. It shows standard 11 x click - spindown - DRD/DSC symptoms. What puzzles me is that there is absolutely nothing in terminal window - nothing on power up and no response to any command - terminal window stays clear.
Judging by the symptoms I would proceed to change head stack but is blank terminal window telling me something else - like possible PCB failure?
Has anybody experienced the same problem/symptoms?
UPDATE
And to answer the question, it is not PCB failure. I have found a donor PCB, replaced it, same symptoms. Tested patient PCB on donor drive, it works. Will proceed with head stack replacement if client agrees.
