ICL PERQ 2 T2 Micropolis 1303 spinning down.

My only solution has been to open up the HDD itself and attempt to clean up the goo. Or, in some cases put a sliver of paper between the rubber bumper and the head assembly to stop it sticking. I don?t have a clean room and I know this is not advised, but it has worked for me.

Why they aren't moving could be more than one reason. They could be stuck, or there could be some other problem that is preventing them getting the power needed to move. Did you solve the problem? How? I have heard that Micropolis 1325 is prone to have a problem with a rubber bumper that sticks to the head mechanism. Maybe it is the same for this Micropois drive? What resolutions are there to this type of problem? /Mattis Regards Rob
