Has anyone performed a headswap on a Western Digital Slim WD7500LPCX? The design looked unique and I saw a dead one for $9 on eBay so I bought it and opened it up. At first look I don't even see how the HSA will come out or fit back in.
Yup, a few times. I've found that my best method, thus far is to park the heads on the outer edge of the platter, then remove the parking ramp so that I have room to use my tools to hold the heads apart and remove them with having them snag on the ramp.
I've had a few of these come in for recovery, but none yet actually needed heads. Can you snap a couple pictures inside so I can see what it looks like?
