Hello ,

i have this samsung drive , that the customer claims that it stopped mounting after it suffered from a power surge ..

checking on the PCB reveals that nothing burnt , connecting the drive to DDI will spin the drive ok , with normal initialise sound , but the drive will stuck on BSY state ...

a very similar semptons to seagate bsy issue , but u can't get rdy on this one ..

am thinking of FW corruption somehow after the power fail ..

any ideas ?

thanks

can you update terminal log?

i did try hot swap , didn't work ( i donut have but 1 donor to try with )

the thing is i swapped the rom of the donor to the patient , and the pcb worked fine ..

so my 90% guess is that the rom corrupted during the power surge ..

can u please send me several of those 500 GB roms , so i can try flashing them ..



will do , but am sure that it's a rom issue ..

thanks

can you please send me some of this model ROM files , so i can write them on the donor board and try to work something out ??

thanks in advance
