Not sure if anyone can help me but was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction... I have read every page of this thread as well as every other post I could find on google since I am stuck. I have seen people having similar problems but have not found a definitive answer on how to fox it. I am getting the following in my terminal window: F3 T>/2 F3 2>Z Spin Down Complete Elapsed Time 0.147 msecs F3 2>U (enter) Error 1009 DETSEC 00006008 Spin Error Elapsed Time 7 mins 27 secs R/W Status 2 R/W Error 84150180 The hard drive is making a small hum every 3 seconds like it is trying to spin and then stops. There is no grinding, clicking, clacking, beeping or the like, just a small hum. I have tried cleaning the connections and have done the process probably 10 times now and it keeps coming up with the same error message. I have also tried rotating the hard drive while it is trying to spin up and no luck there either. I do not know if there is something wrong with my PCB or the motor driver or what. I am at a complete loss at this point and am looking for any advice possible. There is confidential data on the hard drive that I need to recover so data recovery services are out of the question unless they were to simply repair the hard drive and not simply just extract the data. Any help is graciously appreciated.
