I recently found some old and newer hard drives too damaged to be repaired for normal PC use now i took one apart for parts such as the motor inside. I know nothing on motor like this. I know about normal motors like with magnets and stuff and how it works but beyaond normal 2 wire stuff i got no clue.
Ill take some pictures but for now let me explain in words. The motor has a 4 wire interface which i soldered 4 wires to a pin header for testing. How do i apply power to it? I tried normal but i think this is like some PWM type thing because i cant apply constant power it stops. But when i put power and then off/on it........... it works.
Any suggestions on how i can power this for use?
