Subject: RD53 Disk Not Rotating
I acquired an RD53 disk recently. I have just been trying it out. The heads
were stuck, as usual, but the main thing is that the disk itself will not
rotate. The locking mechanism that keeps the heads parked releases on power
up but that is all that happens.
I have not come across this particular kind of failure before, does anyone
have any suggestions for common causes of this kind of failure?
Regards
Rob
