wd 15eads goes error and busy

[sleo]

Hi!
My drive goes "error". Not visible in bios, etc. Looks like Seagate`s CC Error "LED:000000CC"
Victoria in PIO mode shows "ERR". On passport command - BUSY at 1-2minutes, then ERR again.
What can I do to cure my drive?
Please help!

Looking for a DIY solution?

[sleo]

yes.
i already fix my barracuda drive (CC bug) and i hope to fix this. I was planning to repair disk in Victoria, but disk not accessable. What i can do to get access to the disk? sms like barracuda terminal fix.....? i have COM adapter for terminal access 2 hdd.

It's pretty much the end of the road for DYI solutions.

P.S. there might be a small chance that it's the pcb, in which case you can move rom content to a different pcb. But it's not likely the problem. IMOH, other than that, there are no DYI option for this case.

These are not easy to recover and recovery procedure is nothing like Seagate. Plus need advanced equipment.
More than anything a good solid diagnostic.

wd disk has а terminal? diagnosis stops on err, how to know what kind of error?
drive not emit any suspicious sounds.

Can you create a recording of the drive's sounds as it is being powered on?

[sleo]

yes. ill try. I need to find a microphone more powerful than in the webcam.

What would you like to hear? the sound of the engine starts? heads "dong-dong"? (= i hear nothing. nothing strange.

Right. I am not sure what your interpretation of strange is. So, I prefer that I hear a recording.
But if it is too much trouble, then no problem.
Not sure what to suggest as I do not understand the behavior clearly. The sounds pattern may clarify some things.
So, it is up to you.
