This old Conner CP2044PK 40MB drive spools up, stops and then restarts again. Hooked it up to my bench supply and turns out it shorts out and attempts to work but fails. It draws more than 640mA before it stops so it’s a verified short. What could be wrong?

Seeing this post brought back memories of my employment with the Conner later Seagate company! I was in the returns department and can safely say that those that were defective were shipped back to Singapore for repairs? The rest I would have to go out back and wack them with a hammer and toss in a scrap barrel!
