[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

Ayrox:

Have you checked your settings in hyperterminal?

It should be set to 38400, 8-n-1, no flowcontrol.

Have you checked the pin-out with a multimeter? Check the previous page to get correct the pin-out.

You must know which cable that is Rx and Tx.

I had to connect GND to the harddrive in order to get the hdd talking to me.

It is strange if you still wouldn´t get any connection.

Hello people somebody help me¡¡¡ i have a serial cable of an old mouse, and i connect it to the PCB and when i wrote at the hyperterminal i see the characters on the screen, even with the GND cable coneected to the GND of the PCB. but when i plug the SATA power tho the PCB, ocurr two things:

1. When i write Ctrl+z, only appear an arrow, not the F3

or

2. If i connect the GND cable to the GND on the PCB, i can't wrote anything in the hyperterminal.

I try change the Tx and RX and nothing happens.

¿Would be that i need connect the cable of energy to some font? or what more can i do? I'm desperate¡¡¡
