LTO 3 tape drive needing repaired
- by DO it all Paul
We have an IBM LTO 3 tape drive that needs repaired and with the £400 price tag i'm having to shop around for quotes. My question is has anyone actually repaired one before and how was in done?
The first error LED was showing a 6, then i cleared the mangled tape only for it to start flashing alternate 'o' on the 7 segment display, simliar to a half 8, flashing top to bottom and it would just flash away like that coupled with a flashing amber light. I tried a reset holding the eject button for it to show an 'r' the go back to flashing again as before.
I checked the IBM solutions for the codes but this flashing isn't documented at all.
Would be great if anyone had any experience in this area.
Thank you,
Paul
