Well, good luck then.

Now this is strange, if the controller would be dead then there would be no spin-up. If you hear the heads working than the controller is definitely not dead.

- daneel_w 3y agoNo discernable sound of the heads moving. Drive just spins up and that's it. Last I searched was back in 2012-2013 and I didn't find any other advice than trying a PCB swap.
