Hello,

Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

Media damage?
Have you swapped back heads to donor to see it they still work?
September 6th, 2014, 10:31
yes I did, and it worked fine.

Hello
You have a problem in firmware or head are not compatible.
Good Luck

FW checked after hot swap mod02 was corrupted. I believe heads are compatible too. Because after heads replacement the drive detected with full model and capacity but with slow responding and I tried to connect to SD doctor but this problem happens before I tried anything.

The drive is ID'ed right after head swap?
What's the problem after, than?
Slow responding?

Yes. But with slow responding then I connect the drive to SD doctor to fix this.

Most probably you have bad media. Meybe media damages heads too
Can you try to backs heads to donnor drive another time¿
If not correcty works, then your media is badly

I tried that already and the donor drive works normally.

Opps
Then i suppose your problem is about FW.
Can you upload FW, maybe anybody can take a look.
