Hi all, thank you for this great post. Yesterday morning I turned on my pc and the BSY issue came up. I tried contacting Seagate but they said there is no bug, until I finally found many posts on the web. I've tried searching on the thread without success so excuse me in advance if my question has already been answered. I have two ST3500320AS, only one of which is currently facing the BSY issue. I'm only interested in recovering data from the dead drive. What happens if I replace the PCB of the dead drive with the one from the working drive? Is the dead one coming back to life? They are same model and have same firmware. Thank you. Ciao! Max EDIT: I found some posts of people asking the same question but I found no answers :-(
