Subject: Micropolis 1355 ESDI hard drive "sticky bumpers" Fixed!
I have now fixed the faulty internals of the two faulty
Micropolis hard
drives by teasing out the black gooey mass that use to be the head
park
rebound bumper / end stops for each drive.
They had turned into a black sticky mush and as you
correctly identified
were holding the heads from un-parking.
Andy.
-----------------------------
I have a 1335 which so far is OK; does it look like this sticky mush could
separate and contaminate the heads or can I safely wait until I have this
problem (if I do) to open up the drive and remove it?
