BSY error on Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500620AS

[fuoriser]

Hi,

I'm a new user in the forum. I'm trying to repair my HD Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500620AS with BSY error.

HyperTerminal print me:

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

I have also tried after disconnection of the PCB (circuit board) from the hard drive case, but HyperTerminal print me the same line.

Can you help me?

Thanks!

Bye!

Can you help me?

Yes.

Will it work?

See if this works:

http://www.msfn.org/board/unlocking-termin...te-t129551.html

Read CAREFULLY!

It is not clear WHICH are the terminals to be shorted.

Be very careful to NOT short anything else.

Read, re-read and re-re-read the info, make sure you find a "safe" way to attempt the shorting, do some tests with the hard disk NOT connected to power.

Your mileage may vary.

Doesn't the "normal" approach work?

Maybe the Italain translation of the original guide helps:

The currently easiest and all-in-one tutorial is here:

Well, that's strange.

The guide has proved to work in several hundreds of cases for "AS".

The other thread worked for the "NS", at least in a few cases.

Maybe you have a firmware "HP24"?

Did you "wait enough" after power on/before the Z?

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024900D

Do you have any advice to recover my HD?

Thanks!
