Abstract
A method of restoring a suspension of a hard disk drive includes detaching a slider, which is mounted on a tongue portion of the suspension via an adhesive, from the suspension, measuring a thickness of the adhesive in a cleaning area of the tongue portion, specifying a first residual area in which the thickness of the adhesive exceeds a threshold value, irradiating a first irradiation area including the first residual area locally with a first laser beam, and irradiating the cleaning area entirely with a second laser beam.
