Seagate Mobile HDD ST1000LM035 Rom Reading failure

yes, if you don't get any output over serport, then there is likely some hw damage. Fix that first or move rom chip to a working pcb.

Yes there could be internal track or other electronic issue. Unfortunately manual chip reading is not possible so I have finally given up.
Thanks a lot.

how about moving the rom chip to a known good pcb?

Hi pepe
Unfortunately I can't remove ROM from 2.5" disk PCB (can only desolder TSOP type desktop roms) .
Actually I don't know which type of ROM chip this model has .

ROM chip is typical serial flash but in a WLCSP-8 P8 package. Tiny but possible to move or read via external programmer.

I have a similar issue here with a Seagate with Model No. ST1000LM035 FW: RKM2

When I Power on Drive I get the following error

Boot0x80M
LED:0x000000BB FAddr:0x00005807

When I tried ROM via Terminal I get the following error..

Boot Code: Can not get the current address!

I was able to Read ROM Via Programmer and Write to Donor PCB, still didn't work, and did not Power any other PCB.

I tried to import RAP, CAP SAP and IAP from Donor ROM.. it gives following error,

Boot Code: Can not get current address!

I called ACELAB TS for help, I was told "BootFW segment is damaged.
We can not fix this problem"

I have attached the Original ROM read from Programmer.

If anyone can help check it out..

Thank you
