ST2000DL001 clicking and then spin down

March 27th, 2013, 7:26

Hello, i have a Seagate ST2000DL001 F/W:cc97. When it starts it makes 2 clicks, after 10 more and then spins down.

Atola Insight, shows the drive with wrong results, from Model No.: ST_M13FQBL , to F/W:12211727 to capacity: 4GB

I try to get access with the terminal and i can't.
any suggestions?
thank you in advance

Send to Northwind for heads, if not fatal.

Did you examine the original heads under a microscope to check for damage?
