Hello Everyone ,
I wanted to ask you all a few questions regarding Your Experiences Regarding ER-Tools And AceToolLab Tools That Go Over the platter pick the heads up and go back to the outside either on the ramp if its was a head stuck case or a outside the platters if it was non ramp case and we are swapping heads or removing a head stuck condition .Yesterday I had a Western Digital 160GB Starling Drive With a Head Zero Failure .For the first time i was swapping heads of this series .Its 2 Platters a 4 Heads Drive .It Was Quite a Task To Take The Heads Under The Heads on The Patient Drive .After The Head Swap The Heads Just Clicked And Once i Reswapped Them Back To donor " They Were Still Not Working " . The Patients Heads Also did Clicking Once Swapped back to patient .Earlier only Head No 1 Was a Issue .My Questions Are ....
1 : Have You Folks Seen those Brakes They have In this HDD Starling 160GB .Those Are Very Different And I think A Little Misalignment Could Cause The Heads To Be Out Of Position In Parking Zone Or In The SA Reading Zone Once The Heads Are engaged .Can You Folks Shed Some Light
2 : I Am Sure That The Tools Both Of Them Make Do Indeed Scratch Platters ,How True Is My Observation .I have seen specially in Ertools That Getting Tool Under Heads Is a Impossible Task In Many Cases .Might Be a C Type Tools Like HDDSergury Is The Only Solution .As Far As acetoollab is concerned The Metal Tools Are a great concern for me ,But i Am Sure They Lift the Heads Better Due To these Being Metal
3 : I have Noticed that in Head Stuck Cases On 2.5" Drive Like even on simple drives like ST1000LM024 These Tools Do Spoil The Heads If not the Platters Once They Lift Them Up "The Heads Get Bend To One Side .
4 : Cases like ST1000LM024 works fine if we unstuck original heads and use new heads .Using The Classic Drag Method I Think the Heads Are Much Safer And Native Heads Do Work
