You will need to send this to a professional DR company in your area that can deal with the 7200.11 firmware problems.

isn't that a firmware problem. If I change Circuit may be it work ?

NO !

Firmware is on the platters, not the PCB.

thank you very much , I 'll contact Data Recovery Company in our country first.

Where are u based on maybe we can guide to one hddguru near from u country not all companies on DR know the solution , and some times people who doesnt know tried "HDD Engineering" did "quicky" solutions like platter exchange´s , wich could be damaged the hope to did a DR after

Hello. I have the same type of HDD - Seagate 7200.11 500GB, the trouble is that now is blocked after a shock it took from a fall. I know that the HDD has this G-shock Force Protection System. Does anyone know about this system and how to unblock or reset it?

Bestvex, your drive cannot withstand a fall from your desktop : seized motor and / or head stack damage. G-Shock protection system cannot avoid you to pay about 1000 $ and up if you want tour data back, otherwise live without data.... and drive (sad but true).
OR if you prefer.... only a professional can "reset" this.... system (in other words : open the drive in clean room, remove platters and/or remove seizure and/or replace headstack) and get your data back.

I think you are not really sure what you are talking about
These drives have free fall protection and G-shock servo compensation system

Free fall protection system can detect the drive is falling and park heads automatically - that's all it does.
G-shock servo compensation system trying to tune up servo system if drive experinced vibrations.

If you drive felt and now it doesn't spin it's 99% seized motor. There is no magic "unblock" procedure in this case. And for this model it very hard to make DR. What I'm trying to say - if it's seized motor - your data is gone

Thanks for your reply Doomer, I really don't care too much about the data or the drive itself. Just trying to learn something and not to treat everything with ignorance.

My drive just bricked up as well after 2 weeks of running fine. Seems to be a pretty widespread problem with this model : Barracuda 7200.11 500Gb OEM. Undetected in Bios. MSFN forums is running a thread to track the problem I suggest you do drop by and lend support so Seagate will take notice.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128514 - take a look at this.

Seagate knows and you can rma it. Forget data but you'll have drive replaced.

The most interested is the post #6 with the picture!

Almost all drive failed close to the 2008-12-24! :O

This is really interesting!

I would guess Seagate is aware of the problem through their i365 data recovery company, which is part of Seagate.

Are you saying you can't recover from this fault? Or are you saying he can't recover from this fault? Anyway I made a full recovery on on this exact same model with a seized motor a few weeks ago.

Instead, I bet i365 is aware of the problem through Seagate. Malicious ?

I agree, seized motors are pretty easy to recover data from...
