Abstract
A control portion instructs supply of an offset voltage while a disk remains stopped at the time of start. While the disk remains stopped at the time of start, a differential operational amplifier detects a voltage difference between a first voltage supply line and a second voltage supply line. When the absolute value of the voltage difference output by the differential operational amplifier is equal to or lower than a prescribed threshold value, a failure determination portion determines that a spindle motor has shorted out.
