Toshiba MQ01ABD100H, IDs, but no Data.

[DataPros]

Hi all. I have this Toshiba MQ01ABD100H 1TB 2.5" laptop HDD that IDs nicely on PC3K,
does everything a drive should, except I get all RED squares in Data Extractor.

As well, on DDI, the drive IDs but no data can be read.

I have cleared the G-List as suggested with other Toshiba drives in this condition.

This is a newer model, on the market not even 3 years, and I'm not familiar with
what else could be wrong.

Any help appreciated.

MQ01ABD100H
That is hybrid drive (with NAND)
Guess where is the problem
99% it is giving you through the terminal :
SIGNATURE SCAN FAILED
P90 FATAL
HDD FATAL ERROR

Solution obviously not easy .
PM Me.

to DataPros: Could you explain what does it mean (it's from your site) - Motor replacement, Damaged Platter repair?

Thanks for pointing that out!
I see the (new, June 15/16) manual for Toshiba has been VASTLY increased in content!

What about motor replacement? On which models you are replacing motor?

We can fix these drives with NAND issues, but can you show terminal output during power up?

Hi Mike. No, there is NO terminal output during power-up.
But, the Terminal works because the Red light flashes while saving ROM via Terminal, for example.
And, anything you type is echoed in Terminal, after it prints a ">" character.
