i wanna be you apprentice, i can work for food :(
Brilliant!
The secret for platter alignment: Scotch tape, high tech and expensive, yeah xD
There was also a trick that worked on some Toshiba 2.5" drives who weren't hard seized. You can heat and cool to remove the bearing cover (little 4-5mm round circle) in the bottom of the spindle motor. You could then add a couple of drops of a light lubricant to the bearing and then replace the cover and heat the bearing unit. Power the drive on while heated, and listen to it sounding almost like new. The agitation in the fluid from the spinning motor will mix the new and old lubricants, preventing the old oil from drying out again. This will give your drive a new lease on life, at least for a few days, which is more than enough to retrieve the content. Obviously do not put the repaired drive back into service.

This used to work quite well on the 8025GAX in particular, who had a much larger issue with seizing than the 8025GAS.
Is the drive supposed to be used routinely after the open heart surgery
or is it just meant to be cloned asap? I work in a clean room from time
to time and what I've just seen is blowing my mind.
Uses a magnetized screwdriver on a hard drive...
the world of diy hdd repair just got opened up for me :) tnx
so many magic tape jokes....
GREAT INFO EVEN FOR NON TECH PEOPLE!
is it recommended to use a magnetic nut driver on magnetic media?

I have a dropped drive (20 cm drop) that's making all shorts of weird noises. I just need a "dir *.*/s > filelist.txt" to get the file structure. I've opened it and tried to nudge the heads a bit so they work, didn't work. I'll try heating the bearing as well but I don't think it'll do anything, I think the heads are physically touching the platter. It's probably unsolvable but do you have any advice anyway?
Well done, I'll need to stock up on Scotch Tape! Though I should point out, the drive spitting out it's attributes (model, serial, size, firmware, etc) doesn't mean much since that's in the firmware on the controller board, not on the platters. ;-)
So I wound't get too excited if that bit works, real test is finding their Pr0n directory and seeing what sick stuff they're into.
Is that what we (as in your viewers) do? Ask REALLY annoying questions?
Meanwhile, I can't even put a screen protector on straight.
That felt like watching a Major Life-Saving Surgery.
get one of these little scopes for your work if you just need it for home http://www.banggood.com/Mustool-G600-Digital-Portable-1-600X-3_6MP-Microscope-Continuous-Magnifier-with-4_3inch-HD-OLED-Display-p-1119592.html?p=DN22089102703201702A
Also
I really really want to go into this line of work
Ppl say im a lazy mofo
But hey atleast im using my time constructively
Mostly watching videos like this and learn something
The scotch tape idea is genius, a professional tool will cost at least $200
