Experts can you hint what this problem could be due to
PCB is OK. tried another one.

Boot 0x40M
Spin Up
RECOV Servo Op=0100 Resp=0005

1. Non-original ROM
2. Start without 0 head.
3. Problematic heads.

Serial No. is matching with the sticker

1. Non-original ROM
2. Start without 0 head.
3. Problematic heads.


1. Serial no matching. ( ROM is native and Original as the drive belongs to a known client )
2. Without head 0 the sysmtems are same
3. Tried replacing heads. No Change. Patient heads are working in Donor drive.

4. can't read sector 64F3

What could be the solution or a headway ?

Move CAP+SAP+RAP to another fw and try again.

Move CAP+SAP+RAP to another fw and try again.


Tried moving CAP+SAP+RAP to donor FW problem remains the same

Patient FW with DONOR's CAP+SAP+RAP works fine on DONOR Drive

Have you tried replacing the PCB?

Re: PreampFaultStatus = 0000YW in SEAGATE ST1000DM003

Yes
PCB is Okay

Was it at another data recovery place first? Perhaps they wrote the wrong ROM code to it and just modified the serial number so their sabotage wouldn't be obvious.

I only mention it because I seem to be seeing more sabotaged drives lately, probably a result of increasing competition.

agreed.
most likely rom is not native.

Re: PreampFaultStatus = 0000YW in SEAGATE ST1000DM003

November 3rd, 2016, 16:25

Yeah, actually, it seems to wrong/corrupted ROM content....

Does the current symptom match the original symptom as observed by the client?

Re: PreampFaultStatus = 0000YW in SEAGATE ST1000DM003

Thank you all for responces. Almost all feel the FW is corrupted or somebody wrote a wrong ROM Code.
The client is 100 % sure that this drive was not given to any Data Recovery Company.

Does the current symptom match the original symptom as observed by the client?


fzabkar : The original problem with the drive when we received was it was Knocking and had bad heads.
After head replacement it started giving above message.

Can anyone take up this job. Can it done supposed if it has FW corruption as all feel.

The reason I asked whether the symptoms had changed was that it was suggested that the drive may have been sabotaged. I wondered if the client had reported a different symptom to the one initially observed by you.

Chances of Sabotage are near to zero.

above statements are contradicting, have you tried shorting read channels ?

What i meant here is that when we received the drive it had bad heads and it was knocking.
After head replacement this message started to apear.
I have tried another set of heads also, the problem still the same.

have you tried shorting read channels ?


Shorting read channels does not have any effect.
