[trainmen]

Hello,
ich switch the pcb board from the old hdd with a "new" one. I dlash first the new ROM File on the chip.
Over TTL i cant switch in F3.

I only get this message:

Code:

Maybe start from the beginning, what's going on with the drive?
The ROM is locked to RS communication by default, so you can't do anything without unlocking it.

[trainmen]

The HDD isn't recognized in the BIOS. The motor is spinning and the read head is moving. How can I unlock the firmware?

[Lukas]

So, as usual, if the hard drive boots, replacing the electronics is pointless.
The ROM can be unlocked using tools like PC3000/MRT/DFL.

Ah, sorry you mean the old own. The old own do nothing. I get no messages by powering on.

Blocked terminal on 1CH162?.. Interesting, I hear about it for the first time.
And where is the message from Grenada - "Terminal is blocked"?
trainmen,
When shorting the Tx-Rx adapter, the characters are printed ?
And I don't remember what the terminal voltage levels are on the Grenada.
Sometimes it helps to wait 10-15 minutes to get to the terminal.

[Lukas]

SWM, Have you checked the ROM from the attachment?

[SWM]

Lukas, The checksums match the calculated ones.

[Lukas]

SWM, My mistake, you're right. This version isn't locked

The disk itself did not turn on?

Trans implies successful loading of 20E(20F).
Missing small change - (H) SATA Reset...
But, perhaps, the host was not connected.

[SWM]

Or the SATA connection has a fault in something (hostport-cable-deviceport).

[Lukas]

It looks that way, but that doesn't explain why he can't get to the terminal...
Or maybe he didn't even try
What happens if you try to press CTRL+Z?

[SWM]

Maybe it's for the best... If it's not the HDD that's faulty...

@ Lukas
I understand it right, i need to shorting the rx and tx channel cable? I am locking all right for a shorting point, but i dont find anything.
I wait now 20 minutes but nothing happens.

Yes the disk dont turn on and now output over TTL.

If i press CTRL + Z, nothing happened.

[pepe]

does ctrl-z do anything on the donor? It should. On the patient as well. Are you using an adapter capable of 1.8V signaling?

[trainmen]

Are your sure it is 1,8V and not 3,3V? I use 1,8V and I read i need 3,3V :/
I see only my command in the terminal, but no answer.
I try it with putty, realterm and seagate tools.

[trainmen]

Okay, i find my problem. My cable was at the wrong Pin
