[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

Hi again,

Now i've tried the loopback test so my setup is correct.

I dont get any response from the terminal, I dont get "F3 T>", but i can type..

I placed a paper card between the motor connector and the harddiskmainboard like in post #1, attached the tx and rx cables, opened hyperterminal, and then powered on the drive, and then pushed CTRL+Z... But i don't get anything?

Anyone that can help me? Over msn maybe?

I have a 3500320AS with SD15 firmwire. And i bought i RS232-TTL usb-converter.

I have the same problem as Alexx86 the set up is right but I get nothing but the small arrow mark on hyper terminal. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have the same drive and firmware version Thanks

try connect ground from your cable to pin 3 in terminal socket of disk. i think it finally solved Alexx86 problem. we did everything from scratch, step by step so hard to tell.

I can tell you that adding a ground got my terminal working (finally)...

Aviko, thanks so.......much it all worked like a charm backing up my data now as we speak.

The earth from the cable did the trick.

Thanks again you are definately my Hero!!! Cheers
