what models?

Gradius2 did u apply the fixed SD1A firmware to the ST3750330AS ?

did u see this page? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...20&start=20

i notice alot of ppl are having trouble updating the drives in the seagate forum

ahh ok well the HD jumpers pins output 3v so i think u need the 3.3v adapter

buy the 5v so u can use the Power supply RED cable to get the 5v u need another thing is that my cable work with 3.3v and 5v dunno why they sell 2 diferent cables

i think those will work but this is a lot cheaper http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAX232-RS232-to-TTL-...%3A1|240%3A1318

thx Gradius2 and fatlip for the help the drive is fixed now another thing why the seagate serial checker say my drive is no affected went it is?

maybe i got the error because i was trying to do this command m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 without the hard drive case on

ok Gradius2 i couldn't get output from the console but then i press CTRL-Z and got output F3 T> now i getting this error went i try to put this command F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 LED:000000CC FAddr:0025BF67

Are you sure didn't you mixed TX with RX ? Are you sure RS232 is configured to 38400 8 N 1 ? Keep in mind you need a RS232 to TTL conversor/adapter, otherwise it will never works! If all above is correct, did you pressed CTRL+Z in order to get into CMD mode ? Gradius i have try TX and RX both way the cable i'm using is a homemade cable with the MAX232 IC and 4 capacitors i'm 100% sure the cable is working do i get output before i press CTRL+Z?

i have a 7200.11 with the LBA0 problem I'm trying to fix the drive but i cannot get any output from the console, i know the cable is working because i tested it with another device and i get output anyone else has this problem too?
