Hi

Does anyone know what this clicks means.
The original heads made typical slightly clicks and power off,after replace it's making new kind of clicks.
In terminal :


ASCII Diag mode

F3 T>/2

F3 2>Z

Spin Down Complete
Elapsed Time 0.125 msecs
F3 2>U

DiagError 00006008
Spin Error
Elapsed Time 52.231 secs
R/W Status 2 R/W Error 84150180
F3 2>


F3 T>/1

F3 1>N1

LED:000000CC FAddr:00259965
LED:000000CC FAddr:00259965

Shorting points does not work also.

Patient drive:
ST9500325AS
6VE
9HH134-567
preamp : 5A

Donor:
ST9500325AS
6VE
9HH134-500
preamp : 5A

Thanks

I see not allowed to upload audio file so I will describe the clicks.
Every seven second for one minute it make one click, in the end makes eleven clicks sequentially and power off.

It's probabaly SA damage. It's trying for a while to read the SA and eventually gives up.

Any solution with mrt ultra ?
Perhaps head shielding,disable head 0 ? self-calibration ?

Thanks

If heads are clean, probably the are not compatible.

Did you import adaptives from donor to patient?

check Donor is matched ? also import Head Adaptives in Patient ROM can help you how .

PM me.

I import adaptives from donor to patient but same kind of clicks (but all the set is shorter,interesting).
And the compatibility is really frustrating you never know if the heads match,
model-not always
electric resistance-not always
PN-not always
Data-not always
Site-not always
Preamp-not always

I wonder if model and first two letters of preamp type the same is there chance still not compatible ?
Here the clicking file .

Thank you all

personally i like when they are not compatible. It is so boring if everything works at first move...
anyway, for me compatibility criterias are a bit wider than for you probably. Head or preamp type mismatch is not a real problem.

If you don't have big stock of donor hard drives and need to wait 2-3 weeks for donor to arrive then won't match so it's very unpleasant and I talking about hitachi arm series and seagate f3 that many times both drive all parameters on hdd label are identical but have different heads,and I don't understand what sense is from manufacturer to do so.
I think also it's has to do in where you live some countrys have more identical drive while other has specific drives that same hdd from another region will not match even both made in china.

Not a problem if preamp chip have completely different circuit with different resistance inside,how is that ? does the import adaptives will fix it too ?

of course not talking about using heads from wd in seagate. It won't work if preamp connector has different pinout or some other main problems, but there's a lot of possibilities which are usualy declared as incompatible.

Let's be specific,two seagate f3 drives one preamp type "a" pinout resistence x the other preamp type b pinout resistence y, they won't work as a donor to each other ,but the same pcb model control both of them how could that be?
The answer must be in the different rom contents so the question is if import head adaptives will make them work as a donor to each other,has anyone tried it ?

i think you never want to swap with preamp having different pinout. That's kind of out of question. I wasn't talking about that.

Usually, they are functional analogs. Preamp selection is provided by FW, not a pinout.

I was referring to pinout because always when first two digits of preamp type is different there will be different also in pinout.

Please, show difference in pinouts. Just two photoes with signed pins.

Humm,
What are you talking man .If two seagates are controlled by the same MCU and motor controller in the PCB the pinout of preamp head assembly will be 100% same ,If it will not there will be fireworks inside the drive ,Have to seen the fireworks ever man ? . I can show you if i get down to rectify such a drive [ Though brand can be different ] .

yeah, pinout is the same within families and often between some close families as well even if the preamps differ. No magic there. They can still be ' incompatible'.

There might be some misunderstanding here,the physical pinout of course it's the same but I mention before is the resistance between pinout and hdd chassis\head minus pin is different completely! does it not mean something ?
For example: seagate st9500325as with preamp 5a and the same model but with preamp 78 both of them with same pcb version and same rom version but completely with different resistance pinout ! (does it not mean a different preamp circuit ?)
example b:seagate st3500320as preamp 45 and same model with preamp 6d are the same story.
So in this cases head will click if use for donor becose of different preamp circuit is it not the case ? but the explanation needs here how same pcb with same rom version can control those two different preamp circuit type but the heads can't use for donor to each other ?
