Hi, Better do a proper diagnosis before buying a board. Try to put the terminal-output of the board here. If you dont know how to do, look in other postings on hddguru. It's all explained there. Best regards, Dobre |

Am I correct that to post the terminal output, I need to build this, Attachment: serial_max232.gif [ 9.61 KiB | Viewed 14519 times ] then connect it to the correct pins on the hdd, and post the information as it appears in a HyperTerminal window? Thanks! |

That's pretty much it. If you're alergic to soldering, you can get these premade on Ebay. |
