Dears,
I have a big problem with ST9120822AS. I suspect head problem, because it is knocking.
Terminal says:
VENUS - 1_Disk M-37 12-01-06_14:56
Buzz HM FREG701 88
HM FREG701 88
....
Unfortunately it has very rare FW: 3.CLF. I looked for it almost everywhere but no results.
So I decided to swap head from the same model but different FW: 3.ACL. The drive does not knock now but it can not be detected and terminal says now:
Buzz HM SFI
!
$($06DA7,00E74,0000,00,19,70,71)REG701 91
HM SFI
!
$($1338D,00E74,0000,00,8B,30,08)
I suspect that firmware incompatibility is the problem.
Could you advise me what can I do now? Do you have any idea how to overcome this problem?
I consider to re-solder ROM chip but I am not sure.
Thank you very much for any help.
Regards,
Rafael

Prodata,
the disk is from Lenovo notebook, so it has standard Windows OS.
Does my chance grow up?

Dear prodata,
yes, I completely agree with you, but how can I overcome the problem with no compatible donor?

Rafael
