  1. Hi all,

    I am another victim of this firmware issue! It seems getting all the parts and trying to unlock the drive will be too much effort and frustration for me. Is there anyone who will help me to unlock my drive? If you live in London; I can happily drive to your home; if you dont then I can post my drive to you. I mean instead of everyone trying to get all the parts and fix this by themselves; we can help each other here. Of course I will pay to anyone who is willing to do this for me since I wont be paying for any parts or spending my time for it.

    I probably dont have any important data in the drive since I got a few backups in the past or it wont be that much important to loose them. I just want to save the drive and the time I will be spending to install all those programs again. So dont be afraid to take risk here; I wont blame you if anything goes wrong with my drive.

    Hello mate, im from Cardiff and I fixed mine using a Nokia 3210 data cable bought from ebay for about £3 delivered this is going to be cheaper than posting your drive to someone and them then posting it back to you. If you would like to give it a go yourself feel free to pm me any questions you have. If you are not sure about doing it yourself I would be willing to do it if you post your drive to me but tbh would only do this if no one closer to you can fix it for you as I no how unreliable royal mail are.

    PM me if you like

  2. maxjix I had the same problem as you mine was happening because I was typing the commands in wrong.

    hi guys i might try this, as seagate still not getting back to me.

    I cant see my HDD in windows or bios and the victoria prog that fatlip suggested worked first but now avg says its a trojan so i didnt even get to try it with my affected HDD.

    I have a Mator diamondmax22 500gb STM3500320AS and aviko assures me that this technique here for the seagate will work for me also. as they're both the same drives. i cant see my HDD in windows or bios.

    where can I get the parts I need in the UK. Any british people here who have done this with success post back here?

    thanks

    Im British and I done it successfully had a bit of a problem at first but a member on here "Anth" guided me through it whos also from GB. He recommended me a 3210 data cable (must be a manual switch 1 not auto) I bought 1 of these which was listed as manual but was an auto switching cable so it was no good so Anth sent me a cable he had. I just used the RX & TX and powered the hdd from another pc psu.

  3. Thanks. Most of the information is there, but I'm not sure about last 5 digits of your firmware code, which are oddly resembling a date code. And from your text description the failure date was 11-01-09. Final question for you: was it a retail or OEM drive? You'll probably find the OEM statement printed on the sticker on top of your drive.

    And for future posters: please present your data in this format:

    Number in list:Serial N°:Model:Part N°:Firmware:DateCode:SiteCode:PurchaseDate:FailedDate:OEM/RETAIL:UserName:Country of the User
