F3 commands Useless at ST3500320AS

[mikail13]

Everthing seems normal. Hdd spins. there is no weird sound.

Looks like firmware bug but F3 commands are useless.

Bios doesn't identify the HDD seagate st3500320as

Please help..

PCB motor Chip(smooth) is always overheat. i think that problem is motor seized. i cooled the PCB with fan.

Bios rarely sees hard drive but often don't.

i want to update the firmware to SD1A.. classic ways seem impossible..

SD15 is troublemaker.

can i do it via Seagate Tools or any other?

send spin down/up commands, if motor is really seized you will get error messages.

i think motor spins but also forced. Smooth chip fries my hand. it hurts.

When i hit the U it takes 10 second to message..

no other error message...

I also think like you need cooling PCB

i update firmware via seagate's boot firmware cd with success
Bios and device manager sees hdd anymore.

later i want to format user partition .

Z spin down o.K.
U spin up failed..

Motor stops. seized forever.. typicall noise hearing.

no spin at all..

i try to re-spin the motor on the water Closet ....
There is any dust after the have a bath later the 2 hours.
problem of Head stuck the on platter solved.

Drive spins and seems normally on Device Manager.. MBR needs to be fix.

and also seems "RAP subfile error 201c" every attempt.

Please help

the bath is only dust-free area i have.

do you know "RAP subfile error 201c"

Data is succefully recovered.

*3 times head stuck.

* Device Manager doesn't see the hdd. you must wait at least 4 minute.

* PCB burned. Needs PCB cooling with fan.

* Firmware update is usefull.

* Severally disk seems 8 gb at DM. m0,6,3,,,,,22 fix this problem.

* at last sector copy and reverse copy with DMDE. There ar many bad sector but i recover important files and folder.

It is good that you got the data recovered. But, in the future, if a PCB is overheating, it is best to simply transfer the ROM to a healthy donor PCB and safely image the drive without risk of sudden power failure, head crashes and stiction.

You're right but second PCB was overheated too.

Maybe my PSU is broken..
