Hello everyone! I'm posting this from Chihuahua, Mexico... A couple months ago my Seagate HD went dead on me, after researching I was referred to this website http://www.mapleleafmountain.com/seagatebrick.html , I bought the parts listed on that website, the only difference is that I am using a Usb to Serial adapter, since my computer didn't had a serial port. So the issue is, that I have connected everything, I tested my adapter for voltage and I am getting a constant 5.13v reading on the vcc and ground pins.... I configured the Hyperterminal with the instructions 38400 8-n-1, but when attempting to do a loopback test I am not getting any reading on the screen.... what can I be doing wrong? Needless to say I have around 200gb of essential stuff on that drive..... So I need to get this done! My best regards, and sorry for the noob questions, Ill try to listen to the unbricking masters! Ed
