Question about Seagate PCB Problem
September 17th, 2007, 3:49
Hi All,
I have a Seagate ST3320620AS 80 GB SATA Hard disk with the following info on the drive label:
P/N: 9BJ14G-033
Firmware: 3.ADG
Date Code: 07406
Site code: WU
REV: A00
This is out of a Dell Computer and i have searched for an identical part for 3 weeks, found nothing with the same P/N and Firmware.
This hard disk does not spin up or get detected. The hard disk has 3 protective diods, this does not appear to be the problem.
Are they are common problems like the DIOD problem which i should check to troubleshoot this disk?
The purpose of this is to recover the data on the disk.
Thanks for any help you can suggeste.

ST3320620AS 80 GB SATA
is this correct ? I thought it should be Seagate 320 GB SATA 16 MB cache ?? CMIIW....
ST3 = Seagate Tehnology 3rd generation
320 = capacity (320 GB)
6 = 16 MB (cache)
20A = firmware model (Galaxy)
S = SATA
How can it be 80 GB SATA ??? I don't get it ?

Sorry - it is a 320GB.

PM Sent but in the mean time, are there any common problems known with this model disk and any common troubleshooting methods? (e.g like the DIOD Check).

Why PM ? 
zed :
Check the protective diode. If it's burnt (no sign of damage physically), then it's rotor problem. Drilling method needed. I haven't tried it yet on this model...
In case protective diode is OK, that means head(s) problems. One or more heads might stuck (glued) to the platter. You may not need a donor. Open the HDA case, and spin the rotor manually and head(s) synchronously. Set it back to its original position and then, test it again...
