diamondmax 22 (7200.11) FW issues

February 1st, 2011, 15:13

So I am working on a drive; the importance is low, but I would like to figure out this issue.

Diamondmax 22 (7200.11)

MX15 FW




INITIAL OUTPUT
---------------

Rst 0x20M

(P) SATA Reset


LED:000000CC FAddr:0024CDC9
Rst 0x20M

(P) SATA Reset


LED:000000CC FAddr:0024CDC9
Rst 0x20M

(P) SATA Reset






I fixed this problem by removing the PCB completely, and issued /2 Z

Put PCB back on, /U


That problem is gone.

N1

i4,1,22


when attempting to regen the translator the drive spins down immediately (as soon as I hit enter I see the 12v drop to ~1-5ma.


Has anyone seen this? Could be instability of head/s is my guess. But I am not 100% versed in seagate firmware so maybe someone could shed some light.


Thanks!

Yep, had a similar one of these last week. Best thing to do is go make lunch and take a walk, or something :mrgreen:
