Hello guys. I've got some drives to study and I'm here with another one that never occurred to me, and didn't find anything on forums.
This WD3200AAKS-00UU3A0 starts apparently ok when turned on with an isolated power supply. But after 40 seconds (sometimes more) it spins down and start again.
Using MRT I have the same behavior, with BSY led on during all time.
Already changed PCB, still the same.
Don't know what to try next.

Thank you so much for all your kind help.

Block SA and check modules. 32 for example.

Now we have the modules list, but I can't access any of those modules.
I really appreciate any other help. Thank you again.

I believe I'll need a LDR for this one, right?
Does anybody here have it?

Thank you for any help.

There is a Tahoe LT 0000000J over at HddSurgery https://firmware.hddsurgery.com/index.php
