I *hope* it's the same problem, which means shotgunning all those @#_(*&#_(#*&@_#@# G.D.M.F. blue-death caps. (The Read/Write Amplifier Board in this 6070 drive is an ugly thing; lots of ECOs, a .25" hole drilled in it, to hold an added trimpot! with lots of wiggly wires. ALso the PCB layout doesn't match the drawings (schematic at least mostly does) so it's likely an early rev or something. I hope this means that it's the only thing with blue-death caps on it. I can hope can't I?)
