[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Problems with stuck head on a ST335r

fe020124@seas.gwu.edu (Michael J. Ellis) (12/06/90)

I have a problem with a st335r Seagate harddrive.

Every so often (about 1 every 3 days) the heads seem to get stuck.
I need to open the drive up, and manually rotate the little head-axel,
reboot, and it will work again.
I've tried parking the drive, but no go there.....

Can I open the drive up, and oil it? can anyone suggest anything. 

Thanks,
        Mike
