Hi,

this drive had a burnt PCB, preamp, do the heads were swapped. Now it is detected correctly after a while, I can read the data surface, but it hangs at various places and sometimes it reads from some different LBA without any error message (when I re-read the same sector, the content is different, and correct).
here is the log on power up:

From serial Number it have 4 head. there is two type of serial number for 4 head, the others one is begin with XLJXXXXX.
How about your donor Drive . is it have same serial name begin with XJSXXXXX

Thanks

Hi,

I have tried 2 donors, both has been opened previously, so I am not sure about the heads, but both were more or less working drives. One had JS and the other had LJ in the SN.
I will try a JS from a fully working drive...
thankx for the suggestions from all of U!
I will keep U informed.
