SSHD WD10S21X stopped to work while unpacking 7-zip archive

[Krzy5i3k]

Disk is placed in my Lenovo Y70-70 notebook.
It is correctly recognized by BIOS but there is no partitions and free unallocated space on it.
Device cant be set as active disk in Windows 8.1.

My colegue told me that issue may be caused by unproperely filled 8GB flash memory and force cleaning it or changing firmware could help.

This is that same problem like here: http://community.wd.com/t5/Desktop-Mobile-Drives/WD-Black-1TB-WD10S21X-0MB-Capacity/td-p/885640

Any suggestions what to do?

Try to read the drive's firmware resources with SeDiv.

The drive is in kernel mode, so reading the firmware is unlikely to succeed as you only have access to the PCB. Sorry to say this is not likely to be a DIY case.

Where are the SMART data stored?

[data-medics]

On the platters in the SA, but I tend to doubt it actually read it. I could be wrong, but in any event it's not likely to be DIY showing 0 capacity and being in kernel mode.

So, there is no chance to reanimate this drive?
Tbh i dont know what DIY word means .

DIY = Do It Yourself

It can't hurt to try SeDiv.

[Krzy5i3k]

I will try ofcourse.
This SeDiv its freeware soft right? I dont want to use any cracked software.

[fzabkar]

The SeDiv links are for a free demo version. It reads the firmware resources but won't write them. There are other free (not cracked) methods for writing the modules.
