If you have a professional tool like PC-3000 try running a heads test. It could be that one of the heads has failed and will need to be disabled. Even if a head is just unable to write it may act like that.

Thanks for replying.
I have tested the heads with MRT and it said it's OK.
Maybe replacing the heads will short the problem if it head/s or something else.
Thank you.

write/edit anything like: 00 to any of the modules, refresh and see/ power off/on see if the value remains same or modified as acted!

Try changing the head map in RAM to "0000" and soft reset, see if you can read sector 0
