@spildit,

I verified it absolutely not spinning, when i tried and connected a different pcb it does spin made knocking sound, that clears the matter that there is no motor jam.

But may be i will try replacing the motor chip on the original pcb.

Cheers,


This tells me that the problem is with the original PCB and that you need to move the ROM from the original PCB to the donor PCB in order to stop the knocking. That being said, if the drive is spinning and knocking with the original PCB, I might suspect a head crash, which is not uncommon with these drives, too.

I have the exact same spin error - on 2 identical drives. Both Seagate 7200.11 500G. lets call them Drive A and Drive B

What happened was I accidentally shorted out drive A's logic board, so I found Drive B, which was the exact same drive part number and firmware version.

I tried Drive B's logic board on Drive A and when the drive tried to spin up, it lightly clicked a few times and spun back down and gave the spin error.

Heres the problem - when I returned Drive B's logic board to Drive B, the exact same thing happened! Drive B now gives the Spin Error after spinning up, lightly clicking a few times and spinning down - Exacly like Drive A. Drive B never had anything wrong with it.

is it possible that Drive A could have corrupted Drive B's logic board? Both drives are still under warranty, but I want to try every avenue before I send Drive B back to Seagate as they will just give me a new blank drive. Any advice would be appreciated - i cant afford $500 for data recovery services, BTW :lol:

I'm sorry if I'm Thread-jacking, but the symptoms were so similar I just couldn't resist asking for some feedback on this error

Thanks
Derek

I would suggest that you begin a new thread and upload a detailed photo of the shorted board.

If you can repair the damage that you've done, then you may get back to your original fault.
