ST1000DM003 Ic rebuild

[Pillolo]

Hi all.
I present now my big problem.
Seagate HD ST1000DM003 with all the office data.
This morning windows xp has generated an error and the next reboot, the hard drive is no longer recognized by the bios.
I get a disc with the same exact same firmware and proceed to swap the PCB by reversing the memory IC. As I usually do.
Surprise, the disk from which I took the pcb works the same as my disk died.
I gather that the problem may be the memory IC.
You can reconstruct the contents?
I hope I was clear and I trust in your help.

thanks

Sinora ti e' andata bene...
Till now all things went OK...

...ma non e' sempre Domenica.
... but it's not always Sunday.

Forse. Ma anche no.
Maybe. But maybe not.

Anche troppo.
Can't be more clear.

I trust in your help.

Gratis ?

Hi,

please get into more details.

How does the drive behave? What do you mean when you say the drive 'died'?
Does it spin up? Does it make any weird noises? Does it click?

To answer your question, yes regeneration of the ROM of your drive is possible, BUT it will not be cheap. But before that I think you should first determine what is the real problem of your drive.

Meanwhile, thanks for the replies.

Thank BalckSt sign up first thing in the answers with humor.
If you need to play down you did.

For the rest of the information.
The unit does spin up, the heads move as does the disc good.
No strange noise, no clicks.

The only thing that is different from the hard working and this.

In recognition phase of the bios timeout.

thanks

PS about whether to do it for free, I would say that I can afford it, as long as not overdone.
