April 4th, 2008, 9:22

Hello,
I have Samsung HD403LJ with strange behavior.
Spindle motor spins ok, drive recalibrates ok and it gets DSC and DRY status. But when I want to do something I get BSY status and always the same report "Drive not ready".

Bellow I attache a log from terminal:

Hello,
Thanks for reply.

I`m waiting for a proper donor drive, but I`m not sure if the FW in donor drive will be the same as in faulty one.
Have you ever seen such a strange replays from samsung drive (see terminal log) ?
Could it be PCB ?
