Samsung 840 Pro 512GB - MZ-7PD512 I believe my SSD is stuck in BSY State. Its old but very little use - <1 year with little read/writes. Tried power cycle trick - no change. (plug SATA Power only - ON for 60 mins, OFF for 60 seconds, ON for 60 mins) Using systemrescue USB on different laptop w/ SATA-USB Code: sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb Read Device Identity failed: scsi error device will be ready soon Using systemrescue USB on same PC via SATA Code: ata5: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata5: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata5: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata5: hardreset failed ata5: reset failed, giving up I read that I can short two pins to enter SAFE/TECHNICAL mode - https://www2.futureware.at/~philipp/ssd ... Manual.pdf Is data recovery without PC-3000 possible? I would be willing to pay in advance for DIY Solutions, Ideally trying to avoid sending off to a Data Lab

some other members - @ivo.andonov - seemed to have fixed this specific drive by changing / re-soldering the RT9991 https://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php ... 36#p314636 Ive also read it could be the internal fuse. I am planning to check these parts when my Multimeter arrives, and possibly change them. Does anybody else have any ideas? - Data Recover in the UK is now around £550 for this task
