I just checked and it looks like they are in correctly. The head for the top-side of the platter is labelled down, and the lower head is facing up. The only thing I changed is connecting up->up and down->down. So, I'm not sure. I cleaned the packs well a while back - I'm just hoping there wasn't something left over which caused the crash. Thanks, Aaron.
