Would the preamp even be replaceable if it turns out to be faulty? Any

I also just
noticed someone cut off the spindle ground strap. I wonder if
it built up a static charge and damaged part of the head amplifier
electronics?
Possibly. The preamp is on the flexiprint inside the HDA (:-(). If you
can get a 'scope you can look for the servo sigals on the 2 wire jumper
between the boards. If you get nothing there, then you can syspect HDA
problems, I think. Without a 'scope it's difficult to make any
meaningful tests :-(
