My old RODIME RO202 full height MFM hard drive refuses to power up properly. When power is applied the drive brake disengages, but the drive does not spin up. Then after 30 seconds or so the power LED starts flashing an error code. Now if I poke my little pinkie in once the brake has disengaged and give the drive spindle a nudge, it spins up OK and the power LED stays lit indicating it is ready. I've left it running for a couple of hours, but when I power it off and then back on again, it still refuses to spin up without help. Any suggestions in getting this thing to spin up on its own accord.
Cheers,
Steve
