HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi,

My OCZ 60 GB stopped responding after my laptop went to sleep mode.
Rebooted laptop but SDD is not recognized in BIOS anymore.

Troubleshooting so far:
1) checked in different PC. The same story
2) checked LED's on SSD - green and yellow lit, red one blink once when disk is connected
3) checked google and found "panic lock" references
4) UART pins are available but before I hook up Serial converter I would like to know if it's possible to unlock from "panic lock" using Serial ?

Regards,

Please find Serial log attached.
I don't want to recover data. Just wanted to make my SSD work again. Please have a look and advise if there is anything that can be done.

Hi.
It kind of looks like the baud rate is changing after the RCPch SAK0 line. I noticed this on a Sandforce based SSD, but couldn't get any different baud rates to show anything coherent.

Not sure what you can do apart from RMA if in warranty.. though would probably cost more than it is worth for postage.

It's out of warranty so no RMA Even if it was I had to break security label while mounting pins to read from UART
Is it really bricked without any chance to resurrection ?
