I receive this HDD dead from a customer. Managed to obtain another with matching model, Part No. & firmware version. With a PCB swap, the customer disk can now spin up but it times out being recognised in the Adaptec SCSI BIOS. Only once could I get it to detect with a warm boot, but data not accessible.

Is there other detail I need to match for a compatible PCB or any other suggestions to recover this?

Tried to check with mhdd if hdd its fully identified if its ok, tried to did a read test and check if u can access sectors

Best regards

Most Seagate SCSI drives have a translation corruption.

Typical synthoms are:

- Drive spins up
- Drive is detecte by SCSI adapter without size.

If so, you could try to resolved it using PC3000 SCSI Complex..... I have resolved over dozen drives that way.

If you don´t have pc3000 scsi complex, you should send it to someone who has it.

Good luck
