I have a case with a Seagate LP drive model ST31500541AS stuck on BSY
the currents look fine from the occilloscope in Atola insight so I guess it's a version of the usual firmware bug.

In the terminal i get

Rst 0x20M

LED:000000CD FAddr:00006CCB

LED:000000CD FAddr:00006CCB

but crtl+Ζ doesn't work to interact with the drive. Any insights?
Thanks in advance for your help.

ththeod, I think you need to check your PCB first.

Check if you PCB is native.
Then if it is, you can try to follow up unlock procedure, but you must short the read channel.

Sorry i forgot to update it as solved, it was fixed using the r/w channel short method using the same pcb, I just didn't find the short points at that time and it had a new pcb. Thanks for your concern!

No, after power on, BIOS can not recognize this drive. It is not detected by BIOS anytime. :(

Later I'll write more detailed information, how I try to get connected to the terminal of this drive.

So, crtl+Ζ works, it is needed just to press right after Rst 0x20M, before (P) SATA Reset

BIOS can not recognise HDD, and it does not continue booting, if HDD attached, it gets stuck trying to detect HDD.

Here is the pictures of PCB

Yes, no problems with executing commands. E.g. U and Z works fine.

I know one data recovery pro in Kazan, you might want to consider taking your drive to him if data is important.
