it worked for me on 1 drive, had one this week which took some extra work. Have not been able to do one with UDMA though..

Can you tell where to shortcut it ????

This is the same as a 7200.11. Same repair procedure for both. It's been exhaustively documented on this site.

The Read channel needs to be shorted at the right moment, and PCB must NOT be detached. If successful the HDD may click several times then reach readiness and you can then proceed with repair.

mrsurgeon is right, it has been documented a lot in this forum, among other places also, you just simply need to find it.
