Yes and No. It should be possible to by-pass it: http://hardmaster.info/eng/articles/09-04-2009.html but it's well beyond the DIY level. Of course NOT, the CA-42 is (the good ones actually working) nothing different from a USB-to-TTL converter. It is possible, though, that the contacts are not good: http://forum.hddguru.com/1tb-seagate-hdd-d...d81-t12290.html It can happen that the pins are forced a bit too much by the card, check previous pages there are a few reports about this issue. Completely removing the PCB, thoroughly cleaning the contacts, check if any contact is twisted, etc., etc. may solve the problem, as well as re-tightening the screw nearest to the contacts once you remove the card. jaclaz ok, thanks jaclaz! This evening when i return from work i try to remove PCB and i hope that work then.. i've also checked the previous page but i didn't found nothing similar to my problem i''ll probably look bad i hope isn't a mechanical problem :(

up, anyone have ideas? The method with CA-42 cable may resolve something?

i see i see but in every international forum is the same as here
