Emax

I've fixed a few Emax HD's this way, and I hope it helps some people out
there.

if the problem is it isn't spinning, and you don't hear any HD noise,

Open it up, take the lid off of the hard drive, it has some weird screws in
the top, I used a small screwdriver like for glasses and a pair of pliers
for more leverage on the screwdriver.  Be careful not to strip the screws.
Or if you find the right bit to open these, use that (I wish I had one.

This can be really tough, so be patient.

Once it is open, you will see the HD disk and the arm that writes to it.
DON"T TOUCH IT!!!  The disk or the arm,  just very gently start the disk
spinning (powered off and with the power cable disconnected) clockwise by
touching the metal disk in the middle (like the cardboard in the middle of a
record).  spin it well a couple of times.

Then apply power before closing it up, the disk should start spinning on
power up.  Close it up and you're all set.
