Re: DLT 40/80

hello,

seems like you have a "dropped leader", You can check this looking inside the DLT and seeing if the leader of the tape is out of his position (compare with a good one).
another sympthom is that you will heard a :"flap flap flap" every ~ 20 seconds.

If you are in that case, let us know, there is somewhere a link that explain how to reatach it, or if the DLT is still on warranty, log a call to HP

You have a bad tape drive, call HP to replace.
It might be the leader, take a look inside the drive, can you see the leader in its regular position or is it not attached to this plastic hook?

It is not the leader, the drive fails before the self test.

the second it is powered on - failed all led on the left are flashing.

It looks like an electronic fail ?

any more idea's welcome
