Could you explain about head locks? I have never heard
of the term.
Many SMD drives have mechanical spindle and head locks for shipping
purposes. It's pretty obvious when either are in place, as the thing
won't spin or the heads won't load, respectively -- although both should
result in a fault condition.
Your problem almost sounds like a bad/mis-connected B-cable.
