HPG2 ST3250310ns. firmware issue or the eprom is death?

[AOnD]

Hi!

I have a Seagate Barracuda ES.2 250Gb

ST3250310NS
fw: HPG2
hp model: GB0250C8045

The PC3000 recognizes it but with these parameers:

Model: ST_M13FQBL
Serial: QNR_BFW
Firmware: 11291209
Capacity: 3.86 Gb

Somebody have similar case? What can I do?

This drive have HPG2 fw, does PC3000 supports it? Do It have eprom issue?

this is FW issue. PC3000 does support this, but standard repair (isolating PCB) will not help as Terminal access is blocked. I am pretty sure this has been covered in previous topics.

if you just power it up and the drive shows this info and spins down - it's heads

Thanks! I unblocked the terminal.
BUT NOW my problem is that I can't correct the LBA 0.
I did the comand (F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22) and It finalized in 0 seconds and it didn't correct the LBA 0. the problem persist .
I have also a HP12, that I can't enter by terminal because is locked and also the problem is the LBA0! . Did anybody fix that in these HP's models?

thaks everybody!

The ES.2 drives that are affected by the BSY bug will respond to the widely publicised 7200.11 DIY fix, but with a slight twist:

LED error symptoms can be associated with numerous failures. Also, location of reading channels varies between models. In addition to this problems with specific repair commands have been identified, not to mention the consequences of entering wrong command, or even right command in the wrong case.

If you are 100% sure this is the problem, and are confident you can make the repair and accept the potential complications that can arise then you could try this.

But if data is important, it is not expensie to get this done properley and professionally.
