Hi all - I require LDR (and other files) for Maxtor Fireball3 (Ares 64K) 40GB Fluid Bearing 2F040L0-VAM51JJ0-B6FFA(?)-F1QE1ME looks like firmware area is damaged. drive is reporting as "Maxtor0ARES C64K...." cannot read from drive. I've done a stack swap to rule out heads, platter looks ok (no rings) Electronics appear ok (pc3000 diags pass ok) |

Why would you do a head stack without trying a loader first? That's like replacing a cars engine because it ran out of gas. What pc3000 diagnostics were you able to run without a loader? I suggest you send the pc3000 back to china and get your money back. |
