Rember? It was about not starting Seagates.

I had the same Problem with my ST238R. It turned out that, the drive
would not start in two of the four rest-prositions for the motor.
After starting it for half a year manually I got tired of the procedure
and asked a friend if he could help.
After a night of trying and testing we found one of the power-transistors
killed. (The two at the side of the controller-board on the harddisk,
those with the cooling-plates). Replacing it the drive now works fine for
a year. Hope that helps someone.
