are you sure it is able to read anything from the SA? not clicking?
it is unable to read 3_30A for sure, but probably not only that, if you get the same output with isolated head contacts.
btw, that so called 'safe mode' does not exist...

After isolate the motor, the terminal keeps showing:

and still cant use the F3 prompt.

This is a ROM firmware problem ou PCB electrical damage?

Swapped the PCB, same problem.

The MRT Serial is working properly. Used to transfer bios and access the HDD f3 terminal.

this is due to drive not being able to load ovl 19F, because of isolated motor.

the LED BC... 4264 is due to failure to load some other ovl.
do you get this right after pressing ctrl-z?
if not, try pressing ctr-d first, to see what file it is trying to access
