Disabled disk - can I re-enable, and how?

Disk dropped offline so there's no SMART, check/replace cables and post new diags after array start.

Hi, so I waited a bit, it just so happens I had new HDDs coming in and was running preclear, I waited for that disk to complete pre-clear first in case I need it to step in to replace disk 2.

so per your suggestion, what I found was that disk 2 is fine, or so I think. it's a shucked WD HDD with those 3.3V pin, the tape that I put on to block the pin got loose somehow, once I checked the cables and reapplied new tape, Disk 2 becomes available again upon boot up. Even though I don't know what else to look for before jumping to conclusion but I think Disk 2 is fine...if it is, could you update the link to procedure for "re-enable the drive" you originally posted at 

or do their reddit discussion also cover the correct procedure?

I really don't want to rebuild the entire parity if I could avoid it...thanks so much for everything!

SMART looks fine, and the emulated disk is mounting, assuming contents look correct you can rebuild on top.
