Hi all;

Wondering if anyone can provide some insight / suggestions.

Charger drive came in, MOD190 was not readable. Noted issues with H1.

- Read ROM, did unlock.
- Using the native USB PCB, I removed the caps and crystal. PC3000 now talking to the drive using SATA.
- Replaced the heads, drive now reads.
- Block UA and started FW backup.
( there is no UA access via ATA at this point). Reading UA by Utility shows encrypted data.
- SEDv2 enabled in 02.

- PC3000 shows no issues with T2.
- Reviewed what FW modules were read and the following were read, but have CRC errors.

24
123
124
126
D003 <- "Crypto Data"
D004 <- "Crypto Data"

Those CRC errors are normal:

In future you could avoid removing the crystal. Instead, you could ground the reset pin.

Locating the Reset* pin on USB-SATA bridge ICs:
