Hi, I've got a problem with my Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 (ST3500418AS).
I've replaced the PCB with an identical one from a working HDD (same PCB, same firmware version) because the old PCB, burned out due to wrong power input (inside an external HDD case).
Even with the new PCB the drive is not recognized by BIOS and is not recognized by the operating system.
The linux kernel detect the disk but show me only few informations:
Code:
ata5.00: configured for UDMA/66                                                                                                               
ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)                                                                                         
ata3.00: failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x1)                                                                                     
ata3.00: HPA support seems broken, skipping HPA handling                                                                                       
ata3.00: ATA-8: ST3500410AS, CC34, max UDMA/133                                                                                               
ata3.00: 0 sectors, multi 0: LBA NCQ (depth 0/32)                                                                                             
ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 (device error ignored)                                                                                       
scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access     ATA      ST3500410AS      CC34 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5                                                                   
sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0                                                                                                   
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 0 512-byte logical blocks: (0 B/0 B)                                                                                         
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off                                                                                                         
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00                                                                                                     
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA                                                       
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk

I tought to execute the procedure linked here: tutorial-resolve-lba-seagate-7200-bios-don-recognize-t11040.html

But with this procedure, can I keep all my data without loss nothing?

Does the damage to the original board look anything like that in the lower RH corner of this PCB?

If so, then there may be a simple DIY fix.

Did you transfer the original ROM ?

It's 7200.12 NOT 11. That will not work with your 7200.12

You can't just replace the PCB on these, they are unique to the drive.

Not true. Same drive architecture in 7200.11 and 7200.12. Same procedure for 0 lba has worked many times for us.

YOU NEED TO TRANSFER THE ROM FROM ORIGINAL PCB ONTO THE NEW PCB FOR IT TO FUNCTION WITH THIS DRIVE.

may be the true 0LBA problem as you think. and you should have more experience if you done many with .11 .12. you should understand what i said

The commands are still the same, as is the fault. Maybe it just has different cause of the failure...
