On what grounds do you base this conclusion?... Cant get this...The drive was working well before pcb swap... As I wrote, both pcb boards ought to be compatible with each drive with a rom swap... Even AceLab discuss this possibility...

Anything ES2 is NOT on the present thread, but here: jaclaz Moved my q over to ther other thread...

Hey.. ... My issue.... I have this ST31000340NS ES2 drive who was working well until as a test I did a pcb board and rom chip swap and tested it on an ST3750330NS ES2 drive, both have identical board no, but different revision, but ought to be compatible as long as I do the rom chip swap... After this test ST31000340NS drive spins up clicks 11 times spins down..My humble hope, maybe its been stuck in busy state, not ruined by this silly swap attempt.. It show up after a while when pc initialize, but not detected by BIOS, and off course neither by Windows, SeaTools etc.. ES2 disks has as you sure know terminal lock so I cant enter any commands after hitting CTRL+Z and getting F3 T> prompt without unlocking terminal... I've been shorting read channels, lifting board from HDA contacts as soon as I get F3 T> promp for days and hours,.but F3 T> will stand forever when I do this, but as soon as I go on and hit the command 2 + enter this "FlashLED - Failure Code 000000CC Failure Adress 0025c8af" pops up over 2 lines in Hyperterminal, and repeats itself every 60 second or so.. I'm stuck, and hopefully someone can give some advice..
