Samsung ST1000LM024 drive as patient.

Drive spins ok. Message in terminal is something about stuck but heads are not stuck on the platters.

Patient Drive - Donor PCB - Patient HDA - Patient ROM = same problem. (so it's not pcb related)
Patient Drive - Patient PCB - Donor HDA - Patient ROM = same problem. (good donor hda produce same result as not working)
Donor Drive - Donor PCB - Patient HDA - Donor ROM = OK (patient heads are OK)

So it remains to be platters which under microscope inspection looks like they have minor scratches but could be unfortunately in the SA area and preventing boot up process.

It also could be corrupted rom content which i suspect more. I need help from someone able to check my rom.



Terminal looks like this:

ActiveFW : 00
FWVer : 0001
SATA PLL cal done
DDR size detected = 8MB
