Problem with Seagate ST91208220AS Momentus PSD 120Gb

[Powermax]

Hi to all.
I have a strange problem with that Seagate HDD. When i connect it to Pc3K, and power on, it start normally and no knock i can ear ( I can ear normal heads sound for start positioning, too). The problem is that the Hdd stay in Busy state.
I see the terminal report at power on, is like the follow :

Reset

I have not seen Laramie for a while now

I think is likely that ROM may be damaged, but is not the only possibility. More thorough diagnostics are needed.

May be

Have you that firmware ? The correct version is 3.ALE

THank you

It is not ROM problem.

See PM.

I have the exact same problem here. Everything sounds normal so I am hoping I can fix this without opening the drive.

Thanks for your help

That error is related a ROM corruprion. I solved the problem to use a donor PCB with same ROM version. For me that is the only way to solve it.

Thank you at all.

Bye

Good Job

Good to know

Sometime it is a little difficult to find a donor PCB, and I have another solution.
If somebody else is interesting in this, we can make a deal to exchange "this trick"

A solution for this problem without expensive DR-services would be much appreciated.

Some posts ago "book14" meant, that there are some tricks available to resolve this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

did you read this entire thread or no?

Merry Christmas!


The contents of NVC (Flash) damaged.

Medicine:

T>T9F
Begin Test 9F
ASCII logging on
Got to CertFlashBER_Clump
CallingInitNvcIo()
Calling M_ClearBadClumpList
Calling UnlockAllNvcBlocks
Calling FillBa ...

Data may be lost!!!
In the NVC is often MFT.

Thanks a lot, Tomset!

But I have:

This is far not the exact same problem.
The Preamp does not see.
Check the voltage at the Prеamp contacts.
Replace PCB.
