Hi folks,

The drive spins up fine, does not make any odd noises, but never drops busy. Drive shows this in terminal.



Looking around, some people have indicated this means an incompatible preamp. This drive has not been opened. If the preamp was completely failed I would expect a different message. Any thoughts?

No, I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the preamp being incompatible.



have you tried to just upload App Code module

Didn't get around to looking for a matching copy. The data was subsequently deemed to be non-critical, so the drive has been returned under warranty.

Thanks, though.

Firmware 3.CAE? Probably scratch on platter...

No, I believe it was BQH. And it didn't act like the scratched ones, there was no clicking or anything, it had no trouble doing spin to full init, etc.
