Hi all!
Got an interesting case here...
Hitachi DeathStar IC35L030AVV207-0....
Originally knocking/scraping, so concluded heads....
Swapped head (1)...
Spins up OK and calibrates..
But ID not read...
Found NVRAM corrupt..
Swapped PCB from 100% good donor..
Now ID's perfect, all SA modules check out OK....
BUT NO DATA
ALL sectors reporting as "AMN"
This from Universal utility surface check..
Set Max LBA............................. : No restriction
Attrib 5 has value (1) lower than treshold (5)
Write cache............................. : disabled
Test "Surface verification" started
Initial LBA............................. : 0
Final LBA............................... : 58 593 749
Verify by one command................... : 65535
Pass number............................. : 1
Verification method..................... : Regular

Pass.................................... : 1
ERROR! LBA : 0 Verification error 48-bit (AMN) (51/01)
ERROR! LBA : 1 Verification error 48-bit (AMN) (51/01)
Test "Surface verification" interrupted
Duration................................ : 12:00:25 AM
Tried original PCB back again and re-wote NVRAM, still same.
Run surface test from various random points, all the same, NONE read!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
