Jammed spindle motor

@poussin78640 i think that the beeping is comming from the stepper motor
but it can also be an head crash and the needle is stuck in a scratch
-
@foelde the all so dreaded maxtor music.
-
Why does the head even move at all? Doesn't the platters get damaged more?
-
common for a crapstor... maxtor was never known to be reliable.. stuck spindle.. stay away from maxtor and get a WDC.....
-
maxtor famous click of death FTW
How to fix?
BUY A WESTERN DIGITAL!
-
@poussin78640 no you have to turn it really hard its stuck but it looks working other than that try it out
-
the sound is resonance made by the motor itself, by a signal sent to motor by a hard disk board's microcontroller when there's a severe hardware problem that means: "hey this disk is fucked up".
-
Maybe it has internal speaker?
-

@foelde Good question, I don't know :( The head itself can be moved by hand, but impossible to turn the plates using hand, the motor looks broken from the inside...
