Hi,
I've been attempting to fix a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 that was in an HP Workstation. The drive seems to be affected by a problem that has been reported for a few years, but it's hit my brother-in-law's system just a week or so ago.
I've been following a repair guide and I can get nearly all of the way through it, but have not been completely successful. Perhaps the symptoms will help?
The guide is here:
https://sites.google.com/site/seagatefix
I have seen several references to this guide and there are others on the network.
I can get through the guide until after:
F3 1>N1 (enter)
After that, the guide says to reboot the drive. After that, however, I never am able to recover the prompt that would allow me to type in the next command:
F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 (enter)
Clearly I can communicate with the drive, but not, it seems when the heads are engaged. I have cleaned the pads on the PCB.
Any ideas? I'm hopeful our friend fzabkar is around.
