is there anyone who did have success ever with Maxtor 2F040l0 series HDD for selfscan?

Always, if drive not
worn out. Partial, depending on surface and head.

Ares Maxtor drives are famous for shitty platters quality
Usually there is nothing to scan - it's already cold dead

Hmm
One more time
1. These drive are garbage
2. These drives usually end up with bad surface
3. That usually means drives (this particular model) are not fixable and selfscan won't help you

Forget Salvationdata tools. If you really want to squeeze out some more life from them you need to check surface and head condition - prescreen - then 'tweak' what needed, depending on what happens. Can't help directly, sorry.
