In today's lunch break I cleaned up the RX50 drive
and completed some
Have you tried to completley dismantle the RC50? It's a bit strange. The
outer can comes off trivially, then after htant I think you remvoe the
sideses, the seek/interface PCB fro,m the back (stepper motor
controlelr). Then free the front casting and take off the disk clamp arms
(there are C-shapped sring rings whichleft thes when you open the doors.
After that the R/W and spindle motor PCBs come off trivially. So does the
belt, the spidnel motor and the hubs. But don't touch the stepper motor
or heads. The RX50 seems ot haev been desinged so it's almost impossible
to alight -- you can't get to the stepper mounting screws when the
seek/interface PCB is fitted, conversely you need this fitted to runs the
drive. I have a LART resereved fro the 'genius' who came up with that one...
