Hi

Anyone can solve this error?LED:000000BB FAddr: 00004254
No any other error and echo that.
Busy and no clicking sound.
Can not go to T level...

Usually heads and/or fatal surface damage with my experience.

[databack]

I don't think about head damage...
MRT engineer says FW format and no solution for that!

[hddguy]

For this you should see T> before LED error. I think probably it is related to MC

Totally Agree with hddguy.

Don't guide to kill!

In this regard it should be bad sector on SA!

Post not just an error, but a complete output which you get after powering the drive up.

The error above means that drive sees servolabels, reads the SA, but unable to find necessary information in it (overlay).


As for FW format, it's done using a special techno command. After format it's possible to pass through such error, drive will get detected, return its passport and so on, but there will be no access to user area.

If you can get only one module (P-list), that will be enough to make this job recoverable.

Seagate supposedly will do this for a $499 flat rate. Send it to them and let them figure it out.
