Jack,

My Widget was doing this when I got my Lisa. I tried cleaning connections, made sure the brake on the head wasn't stuck, etc... but nothing worked. Finally in frustration I grabbed the head motor and moved it around violently as the drive was on... and it started working!

After you have eliminated all other possible faults perhaps try moving the head around manually while the drive is on. Now that might also break the drive forever, but if it's already broken...

Hello,

I have one 10Mb Widget hard drive and one Sunrem 20Mb hard disk that
show the same symptoms : when I power the Lisa 2/10, the disk start to
spin but it is not accessible. It makes a strandge noise, like if
there was a crc arror and that the head was trying to access the some
area again and again (around 1 second interval). I tried to use the
LisaTest but it can't see the drive either. Note that I have a widget
drive that works fine on that Lisa, so the problem does not come from
the Lisa.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance.

Jack
