Samsung HD502HJ fix, Bad sectors or what ?

June 21st, 2013, 4:55

Hello everyone,
i have a Samsung hdd which MHDD detects with a lot of bad and week sectors.
In smart there are a lot of pending sectors which i can't reallocate, no reallocated sectors are marked in the smart status.

PCB head contact were very durty, i'm pretty sure that is the cause of the damage, so i cleaned it.
I wanna try to fix the drive now, no data recovery is needed.


Drive is HD502HJ, i already tried to remap sectors with MHDD but didn't work.
I tried also low level format, didn't work.
I used also HDD regenerator and Spinrite, sectors are still week or bad.

What can i do?
It's possible to fix with pc3000 pci or SRT or terminal?
Example, will be useful to do a self scan on this drive?


This is what i get in terminal:
Code:
*PA VID=0000 PN=0004 Rev=0001- 785x Found
                                         *PA VID=0000 PN=0004 Rev=0001- 785x Fou

1. Do SMART reset.
2. Re-check sectors under MHDD. And update info here.
3. Never try to re-allocate SAMSUNG HDD by MHDD. Even don't use HDD Regenerator.

Do you think that is a smart issue?
In your experience, resetting the smart will fix the problem?

SMART reset will not fix the issue.

But will lead you to the next scene.

P.S.
I get error and delay from LBA 0 to around LBA 80.000.000 (i jumped with bottom arrow due to a lot of bas sectors), after LBA 80.000.000 are all good and scan is smooth
