Seagate Barracuda 0 sectors

[Cluster]

Hi, I've got a problem with my Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 (ST3500418AS).
I've replaced the PCB with an identical one from a working HDD (same PCB, same firmware version) because the old PCB, burned out due to wrong power input (inside an external HDD case).
Even with the new PCB the drive is not recognized by BIOS and is not recognized by the operating system.
The linux kernel detect the disk but show me only few informations:

Code:

ata5.00: configured for UDMA/66

I tought to execute the procedure linked here: tutorial-resolve-lba-seagate-7200-bios-don-recognize-t11040.html

But with this procedure, can I keep all my data without loss nothing?

Does the damage to the original board look anything like that in the lower RH corner of this PCB?

If so, then there may be a simple DIY fix.

Did you transfer the original ROM ?

It's 7200.12 NOT 11. That will not work with your 7200.12

You can't just replace the PCB on these, they are unique to the drive.

Not true. Same drive architecture in 7200.11 and 7200.12. Same procedure for 0 lba has worked many times for us.

YOU NEED TO TRANSFER THE ROM FROM ORIGINAL PCB ONTO THE NEW PCB FOR IT TO FUNCTION WITH THIS DRIVE.

Not true. Same drive architecture in 7200.11 and 7200.12. Same procedure for 0 lba has worked many times for us.

You sure ?

[hddlab]

I bet he does not sure.

may be the true 0LBA problem as you think. and you should have more experience if you done many with .11 .12. you should understand what i said

[hddguy]

The commands are still the same, as is the fault. Maybe it just has different cause of the failure...
