Hi Wijnand, <br><br>I suspect if you pulled the molex out whilst the machine was on, you have probabily blown an inline fuse. Unfortunately this isn't really fixable. Board level repair perhaps.<br><br>Regards<br><br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I bought an LTO drive from ebay, it worked fine until I pulled the
molex power plug while the computer was still running. When I
plugged it back in while the computer was switched off nothing
happened anymore the drive seems to be truly dead. Also tried it on
another machine. <br>
<br>
Does anyone have any experience with this. I have had a closer look
but do not see anything that is damaged or discolored or anything
indicating a fault. Not found any fuse type devices as well that
might have blown and need replacing.<br>
<br>
I'm guessing it requires a complete circuit board replacement but
that might be too expensive for my purposes.<br>
<br>
Anyone any advice?<br>
<br>
<b>Les</b>, is this Thursday the next meet. I have not been to any
of the ones for this year so far due to various time restrictions.<br>
<br>
Regards <br>
<br>
Wijnand<br>
