Casalla1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 @mathemaddicts:I know how frightening you are about this work, but i can tell you, if you really do what here is written (and at MappleLeafs- look at the Links in the beginning of the topic - this is a very good explaining!!), you can nearly nothing do wrong (learn from my errors, too )In german forums are a lot of people they are no electricans, and have repaired her HDD self, with this Sites.For me it was a hard operation, too, but now i am laughing.I think, if you dont wont to pay a lot of money (200-300$), and there is no one to help you, you have two options: No Data, or a little bit tinker and the chance to get your Data back.Be plucky, be thoroughly, and do it step by step. i hope you get your Data back soon! Best wishes,Casalla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casalla1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 @Beezgr: YES,you need one cable from "HDD-grnd" to "power supply black cable", and one cable from "converter grnd" to "power supply black cable". "converter grnd" is connected with "battery - MINUS", so you must not 'grounding' from "battery - MINUS" to "power supply black cable", you see?Hope you are successful.Greetings,Casalla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silcockj Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 DEar All,So, here I go doing the same as all above, yet I cant seem to work out why I am not succeeding. I Power up the hard drive. wait to press ctrl z so its not too soon, but by the time ive waited 20 seconds, the drive just wants to power down and stop making noises. It produces me with an error that is thisled000000cc faddr 0025bf67or led000000ce faddr 0028e24bdepending on whether i try to rush it or not....please someone help!James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casalla1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 @silcockj:I dont know this error-message, but:Have you ever connected and powered the HDD with the Paper on Motor-contacts? So it shouldnt spin, at first. then, after the reconfigure-Tags, in the rigth Moment, release the Paper, and then the HDD shold be normal powered and run, and is ready for the ending-configure for succesfull repair.I think (mean, believe..) this error-code is normal, if you connect the HDD without the Paper-Isolation.And, because that was my great fail: have you all groundings connected? see 3 or 4 toppics above.Hope, its helpfull,Carsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silcockj Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks for the responseI have a bit of paper blocking the motor contacts, but the problem is that the hard drive powers up, and then powers Down before I have a chance to run the commands. Make sense?Best, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Make sense? Yes and no. The "original" guide is about having the PCB completely detached from the hard disk. Then there are people that had success with a slip of paper under the head contacts and some that had success with it under the motor contacts. Try with the PCB completely detached first (only to see if you can get to the F3> prompt this way). Can you confirm that it is a 7200.11 (AND NOT an ES2 drive)? http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/129551-unlocking-terminal-of-seagate-es2-in-bsyled000000cc-state/ jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
