What's the problem with it? No, I am not going to try to outbid the
OP, but I am just curious. After all, I'll probably end up
helping to
fix it :-)
Mosre seriosuly, I would stronlg suggest the OP obtains this drive.
It'll give yo a good ideas as to what's going on. And apart
from that
40 pin custom chip I mentioned, the eletdonic
side is not
hard to fix.
Of course if it's got problems inside the HDA, it's going
to ne a lot
harder..

As I remember well it's not making enough speed (revs) at startup.

And that is confirmed, the problem with the disc is not making enough speed
at startup to intialize the controller. The colder the envirement the bigger
the problem, warming the disc would make it start some times, I had a spare
so I changed it.
And now is this one 'Going to America'.
