Hi guys i got HTS541---J-- DRive need pw removal using pc3kUDMA ...
when i try to do that a pic comes up which shows short pin 4 and 5 but the text written beside it says short pin 5 and 6 can anyone correct that. will be helpful.... just to be certain nvram on this pcb is U6

thanks

You're on the right way.

SO THEN which way is right short 4 and 5 or 5 and 6 ?

Hi

NV ram
5-| |-4
6-| |-3
7-| |-2
8-| .|-1

if the the disk is ide then put the disk in safe mode and UDMA will do it by itself. But in case of SATA. u have to remove the PCB when asked. SHOT the 4 - 5 PIN. Press ok when ready. after then put the PCB back on hard disk and Press ok when ready.

Password Gone.

Thanks DF ... I will try right away ...

HDDTECH,
did you succeed to clear the password

this is fairly straighforward when using PC3K UDMA. Let us know if this was successful.

Hi,
Maybe someone can help me with this. I also tried to remowe password from HTS541 (SATA, 2.5inch) and have the same problem. Picture shows to short pins 4-5 and the message says 5-6. However, i tried both ways and failed. I tried to 'operate' on PCB but after shorting pins and pressing OK i get error message 'you might have shorted NV-RAM incorrectly'. I also tried to solder wires on pins so i can short it while PCB is mounted on drive but the result is the same.

Does anybody have any suggestion?

hi all,
i had success for IDE.
