oh, a surprise to me too. The pics are taken at the second disassembly. After reassembling, it became fine just like that... an obliviously solved problem..

but the same problem is on another drive...

The tutorials from the links are great!

I see that you are new to this, it's common practice.


psychological warfare against stoopid hardware:
disassembling it a few times really scares it, but you may also want to have a mallet or large hammer handy and start singing something like "How would I love to smash this stoopid thingy with this large hammer I happen to have here" to the tune of your preferred song.

The effect is that usually things start working again .....

A chainsaw has also proved to be a very good intimidating method, but it's a bit noisy and hardware won't fall for it if it isn't running.

Yep.
Shouting at hardware really hard sometimes helps, also :
