Has this been on Selftest? You probably just need to write the cert code back...I don't have one of these drives so I cannot say more.

Terminal output seems to indicate that the ROM version does not match that found on the disk. First thing to confirm is if PCB is original.

Yeah, right :lol:
The drive has uploaded and executed the application code with wrong version of ROM :lol:
That's must be a very clever drive :mrgreen:

Doesn't Seagate make very clever drives?

Apparently no :)
I have never seen a Seagate drive which can execute Application code if that code is incompatible with serial flash code :)

The truth is - all manufactures have some sh*t in each model they produced that's probably why DR compainies exist :)

Thank you all, yes it is original PCB, it is from external MAXTOR Onetouch 4, but the drive is seagate. When i got the drive it was sealed and nobody has opened it.

just read the cert code with PC3K it probably has some read errors, maybe drive was dropped and it is a small scratch (which goes through SA) on it now

I meant read the CERT code physically (as tracks) not by Ctrl+R command; to prove it has read errors
And as far as I see adaptives were not initialized which means the drive has read errors not only in CERT code, several other modules could be unreadable
I am very positive about a small scratch now

I also have a Seagate ST350063AS with exact same symptoms, also have firmware code of 3.AFM. In terminal I get the following error:

38(FFFF) Zn=FF Err=A3 ErCt=0000 Hlth=0000 CHlth=0000 Ready LBA=00000000
Pgm=00 Trk=0001602C(0001602C[016FD3]).0(0).238(FFFF) Zn=FF Err=A3 ErCt=0000 Hlth=0000 CHlth=0000 Ready LBA=00000000

I cannot load CERT, and on press CTRL+C I get the following message:

I've got a match drive with the AFM firmware. I get the same issue as you after a self-scan:

Reset
8192k x 16 DRAM
GALAXY - 1_Disk S-7A 05-25-07_13:14
HM SFI
!
ERR Read App Code

F>

This drive came from a customer who no longer required the data recovered (hence the self-scan). The issue before I carried out the self scan was that there were bad sectors in the service area. Output as follows:

Perhaps this is a specific issue with the AFM firmware, or slight physical damage / bad sectors in the SA?

Just had a disk in with a similar out put to the initial thread:

(P)SATA Reset
Not Interface Age!
INVALID Cert Disk Code - ROM Resident Revision Required: AFZ3A0
Command Inactive - No VALID Cert Code Detected

Came from a disk which had allegedly been involved in a computer with an electrical surge. I have a feeling the IT support company had tried to sort it out themselves and had been swapping parts about; this fault was easily rectified on 7200.10 series. I can't say if it was similar issue on a 7200.11/12 whether it would be so easily fixed?
