Are there any hardware tools that can pull apart the read/write heads when it is being assembled
back to the platter again?
I got 2 drives, 1 which is bad and the other is perfectly working. And of course the one that is bad
have all the data with it. The good one is the same model and same exact batch version. The PCB is fine
because the drive is clicking trying to find the servo track, which I assume the read/write head is bad.
Now, taking 3 plates out of the current HDA would be a disaster, but I thought to myself, why not just
change all the parts except removing the plates. Thus, I can just swap all the parts without having to
recalibrate the platter (since they will not be removed).
Thus, the only question in mind would be if there are any hardware tools out there that can left the 6
read/write heads apart at the same time so they can be reassembled back on to top and bottom of
the patter again.
PS: Anyone out-here actually have done this? I would like to hear it.
Thanks for any thoughts and information,
Natalie Cohen
