Did someone 'touch' the pcb?

Plug your numbers into Seagate's warranty validator:

Compare the date code on the label against the YWW (Year / Week) date codes on the chips.

Seagate date code calculator:
http://www.bugaco.com/calculators/seagate_date_code.php

I believe the date of manufacture may also be stored in the SA.

STRONZATE (Bullshit).

There are many things to "do" with a PCB / drive without touching a screw, the OP is a pro.

PM sent.

[ccamargol]

the hdd is blocked...

[BlackST]

Yes but according to what we have talked about.....

[fzabkar]

the OP is a pro.

Even so-called pros can benefit from the advice of lesser mortals, as you well know from personal experience.

I think the drive is password protected , remove password and see what happens.

[BlackST]

The eventual lock is the lesser/last problem... Was the rest fixed?

[ccamargol]

The PCB is not original.
