Can you make video how to disassemble the cartridge ? I've remover all four screws, but still unable to open the cartridge case. Thank you.

just slide it upwards, in the same direction as you removed the screws. The tiny metal spring which holds the leader pin is preventing the case from opening, that's why you can't open it. Watch out for the ic chip, it'll fall out aling with the door spring.

Hi ... hoping you could provide some advice with my little issue ... tape has been cut inside the drive, I have managed to remove tape cartridge and the tape that was wound inside drive ... all that remains now is the leading pin with about 2 feet of tape ... my dilemma is that I have not been able to figure out how to remove leading pin without dismantling the drive further ... Thanks in advance ... great video!

Hi Les: I do apologize for responding with an 8 month delay. Look up from IBM leader pin replacing. If your break is less than 3 meters from the pin you should be okay. If media tape is broken more than that you will be past the point of the media where your data is written. So you can fix this specific type of media break but if the break is further away and the data is very important a few media data recovery folks can help. Be prepared to really open your wallet for these data restoration techniques most services will start out a > 1K. Hope this help, Dan - Owner

Hi of recent, we had an issues with the tape LTO3 getting stuck in one of our drives. We manually go it out but and found torn pieces of tape in the drive which we removed. However, the drive comments that it needs to be cleaned. Inquiring how that can be done and also would it require a cleaning tape or its optional to use a cleaning tape

Justine, The drive is asking for a cleaning tape because of the previous stuck tape. The drive asks for cleaning tape when the error rate reaches a certain threshold. Or, in your case the drive produced and error because of the tape getting stuck. If you run a cleaning tape, it will clear the request for cleaning. However, since you found torn pieces of media in the drive, it should probably be professionally manually cleaned and gone through. Even removing the cover and putting it back on can cause further problems, if you are not accustomed to doing it. It is quite possible to sever a cable on the R/W head when reinstalling the top cover. Rendering the drive useless. We can certainly issue you an RMA under and you can send it in to us where we will go thoroughly go through the drive, clean it and test it. You can obtain an RMA request on our website: https:\\mwtss.com or you can run a cleaning tape and see what happens.

Excuse me, do you happen to know if it is at all possible to replace the tape drive in an older lto4 or lto5 tape library with a newer lto7 tape drive? Will a tape library take any ultrium drive or does it have special firmware protection?

You can only use tape made for the drive or the two previous drives, at a lower capacity. You can only use lto7 tape with a lto7 or lto8 drive.

Hello there, how can i open the HP LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 ? Can you help ?

My loading mechanism goes over but doesn't grab the working pin. Its also power cycling with flashing exclaimation with a number 5 in the single digit display. All this happened after the power went out. I wouldn't think the power going out would do that.

I can identify 2 potential problems, First loading arm bent may have been caused by the power outage,- not too likely, Second the EC# 5 usually indicates a bad main board, easily caused by the power outage. Sometimes we can clear the EC5 you have an IBM tape drive. The most success we have in clearing the error depends when the ec 5 is identified where in the POST sequence. I would suggest goint to our web page MWTSS.Com or repairmytapedrive.com and fill out a service request for service, we do have no charge evaluations. Hope this helps. Dan

How do I open up my HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 Tape drive? The "Clean" LED keeps blinking, I guess there's accumulation of dust and requires cleaning?

We don't recommend that a user opens up a tape drive on their own. If running a cleaning tape doesn't clear the 'Clean' light, it more than likely means it will have to be opened up and manually cleaned. Also, make sure your cleaning tape hasn't run out of 'cleans' most cleaning tapes are good for 50 cleans, then you must buy a new one. If you attempt to open and clean yourself and then have to send it in to be professionally cleaned, it may cost you more if you made matters worse. You have to use the correct chemicals as not to damage the head and it the head gets knocked out of alignment, it will have to be realigned. Many times we have seen drives come in after a customer tries to remove stuck tape etc. Some will try to pry the tape out with a screwdriver, rendering the drive unrepairable. We offer a no-cost repair evaluation and can take a look at the drive for you and give you a repair cost with obligation to you to go through with the repair.

Дизлайк за шуруповерт. Я заколебался после таких как ты перебирать железо со слизанными болтами и сорванной резьбой, или болты которые не по резьбе пошли... или еще хуже, кулеры ставить на место когда у них болтом срезана резьба в пластике...
