I think I posted a query about this before, but don't recall any answers....
HP recommends cleaning the heads on the 14" drives with a flat wand, and a
cleaning sleeve that fits over it. They also recommend the same device for
cleaning the fixed platter, through an access port next to the heads. I seem
to recall that old Microdata Reflex drives I used to work on wanted the same
thing. You put the sleeve on the flat wand (the wand is much like a tongue
depressor in shape, but a bit longer, and plastic), dampen with ISO 91, rest
it on the platter through the access port, and slowly turn the hub by hand.
I have searched the net, and can't seem to find a source for these wands and
cleaning sleeves anywhere. I would have thought they'd still be around. Does
anyone have a source for these?
Thanks!
Jay West
