I Can see The model Number and serial but No firmware version and no LBA value and the drive become error status

Then why swap out PCB this is not your problem on this one. No need to do this at all. If you see model and S/N what other tools do you have. If by chance you have the DC put it on this one. See what it will do on this. then report back here if you can get it to ID correctly on the DC. If not invest in a good tool to clone with like Atola, DDI, you cn even try the DFL DE if you want on this one. But you will need a cloning tool if you do not have one.

Just my opinion anyhow.

Inside the DC this one can help him. There is an utility for Hitachi drives. Inside this utility if the drive can not be fixed and has an issue such as his you can run this utility to get the drive working again. I know I have done it before. That is why I give him this advice. I know he has an issue in FW and with the DC this can help to initialize the drive correctly and help with the issue he has. I do not say it will work on all drives but it is a place for him to try this one to get off his data. Considering his drive is not supported in the Hitachi DR from SD it will be supported in the DC for some unknown reason. Using the built in utility of the DC to work on the drive will a lot of time start this drive so he can clone it.
You are correct about something damaged in the SA and that is why I gave him the instructions I did to see if he can use the built in utility of the DC to get it to work. it is a emulation program that works on Hitachi drives only inside of the DC and can actually help in cases such as this one. The OP does not have any other tools to work with so I am trying to help him work around this problem with the limited tools he does have.

You will have to find a tool that will support this drive or out source it to another company who has the tools. The drive more than likely has to be put into Safe Mode and the SA C read on this to try and repair the problems in SA A if at all possible. I am so sorry I thought that the SA Emulation inside the DC would of worked for you on this one. Normally I can use the SA emulation on the Hitachi from the DC and read the drive. It has worked in more cases on Hitachi drives. Before they updated their DC program this was the benefit of the DC was the SA emulation on Hitachi drives. But seems like all things if it works fix it so it no longer works. I think that is SD new Model of business. I saw this more than once on their Seagate tool. How they tried to fix some bugs in one version but destroyed all the features that were working so you could no longer work with their tool at all. Sorry I gave you the only way possible to try and read this drive with the tools you are working with.

thanks

Given the limit of his tools he has and non supported drive for his tool this was a long shot. I have done it before and yes it does work. Hitachi on the DC is supported for SA Emulation. That is the key on this one SA Emulation. That is why it has worked on other drives. Up to version 10 on the DC they had a listing of all drives and you selected the drive and the SA emulation for this drive would work and you could open and read the drive. I have no clue what SD has done to their new program on their DC and what modifications they made to this one. I have not had to use the SA Emulation on the DC in some time . It was worth a long shot to test this one to see if by chance it could help out. As a matter of fact I have not used the DC in a very long time. Other tools do a better job at cloning than the DC does. There still is a few cases where I have to use the DC to clone with but not so many. I fully understood what was wrong on this one nad how to go about fixing it. But the tool he has can not support this drive therefore it can not be fixed with his limited tools on hand. The only slim possibility on this one was to try and use the SA Emulation to read the drive with it. Even with some errors in mods in the SA the DC can do this one. Or should I say in the past it could do this one.
