Mark, my best guess is that the spindle is stuck. Put the drive upside down, reconnect and power on. The cables in a 4000-90 allow for this. If that fails, put it on its side, tap the spindle with a hammer and power up. It may just spin up one last time.

  Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that we had a circuit breaker trip here today and 
when I restarted the VAXstation 4000/90 the Seagate ST39173N system disk 
no longer spins up. The controller recognises the drive, and an LED on 
the drive circuit board flashes once on power up and when it is queried 
by the SCSI controller, but at no point does the drive spin up.

Does anyone have any tips? I thought I had a duplicate drive I could try 
swapping the controller board with, but I've yet to locate it. It might 
be stuck heads, but given the circumstances it is more likely to be 
something that has gone bang.

This box hasn't been backed up in a while. I may have a working version 
of the website on a backup, but there will be a few features missing if 
the restore works.

In the meantime the website will be down.

Oh and also, if you haven't done that backup in a while, NOW IS THE TIME 
TO DO IT!!!

Regards,

Mark.
