Hey i just sent a drive to outsource datarecovery services, and i KNOW for a fact the data on it is still good. The problem it has is that it TRIES to spin up but cant complete it. So i logically figured its either gonna be the PCB or barely possible the Spindle having a problem. I was told 3 times that all it would need is the $60 pcb swap, then they call and say "nope only data recovery will work" But literally 30 mins before it just stopped spinning i WAS AT THE DAMN DESKTOP, the files are fine. And you seem like an upfront sorta dude, how much would it cost for a PCB swap, or in the worst case a Spindle swap, i really really dont have a lot of money, which is why when he quoted me $600 dollars for data recovery, i just thought "data recovery?? why it doesn't need data recovery, the problem is its not spinning up"

ST3000DM001 Have problems with Head 4... When imaging the drive I can see a pattern: where a batch of sectors wouldn't get read, then a long batch would get read, and then a small batch not read again etc - with equal intervals. I ran /7 -> X through serial and got resistance values for all heads. All heads reading around 300 (need to convert from HEX to Decimal) except head 04 (head 5) which reads 540. Unfortunately I do not have access to hardware recovery tools like PC-3000, MRT etc... I've disable re-trying reading in firmware through terminal and can now quickly image the drive with HDDSuperClone without getting stuck at dead head for too long. But have a cleanroom, so will attempt a head swap after 5 healthy platters get imaged. If headswap will not fix the problem - time to send to specialists with hardware recovery tools.

Im sure this is a stupid question but I don't get something. You touch red and black probes together to demonstrate the sound. Isnt this exactly the same situation when the current goes through the diode? In other words if the current goes through the diode and we touch the red and black probes on both ends of the diode it should be exectly the same as if we just touch them together (without the diode in between) and the sound should occur?
@j3ffn4v4rr05 жыл бұрын
Not stupid, he was not clear about this: The basic function of a diode is to let current flow ONE way only....by "shorted" he means the diode lets current through both ways. The "arrow and a line" he mentioned is the symbol for a diode (can't type it here, just look it up and you'll see what I mean)...the arrow part of the symbol indicates which side is + and the "line" side of the symbol is the minus (negative) side. Current is supposed to flow from plus to minus, and if you test with the probes that way, you are supposed to get a sound...but if you switch the probes (put red on the minus side, and black on the plus side) and you still get a sound, the diode is no good.
@kb3at1317 жыл бұрын

Paul Archer Paul at this point your best bet would be to locate an identical PCB part number and swap out the eeprom chip from your failed board to a new working one. That will adapt the new board to work with your hard drive. I don't go beyond troubleshooting the diodes on these when it comes to failed/shorted boards because my inventory of donors is really good and it is just way easier to pull the donor than try to figure out what is wrong on component level.

And somehow BIOS just says says it's not there after being stuck on motherboard loading screen for like 30 sec. Swapping to other SATA doesn't help, other hdds work fine in its place. Tried to clear its contacts like you showed in this video, doesn't seem to help (but I got it detected at least 2 times after that). There's no data to save left, just wondering if it's something that might save me 2TB of space being tossed to trash.

yo, I received a factory new drive from Seagate and the motor doesn't spin up. It gets detected in the device manager, sometimes also in the disk management without any storage showing up for it. I actually ordered two units, both of them seem to be from the same charge, although the PCB of the defective drive looks a bit discolored. I tried that one first in my external drive enclosure and it didn't spin up, so I assumed my external enclosure was defective (many reported cases of not detecting drives with more than 2TB of storage). I dropped the other drive in there and it worked without an issue, so I guess my one of the new HDDs is simply defective. Do you have any thoughts on that?
