Hi to all,

I have got an 80GB Excelstor, Calisto hard drive (details below):

Model: J880
Firmware Rev: PF20A21B
Date code: 20060623
0A29180

Drive spins up, but does not calibrate, well it tries to, but for some reason cannot.
Is there anyone who had same problem and dealt with successfully? Is there any chance to fix the drive so it gets detected?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Martin.

AFAIK, this is a Hitachi/IBM remanufactured HDD.

Can you post a picture of the drive + PCB to confirm and further diagnose?

I would better say "refurbished" than "remanufactured"...

As requested, below there are two pics attached.

Drive was open to check if there is any scratch, but there is no scratch on platter.
Using PC3k, when power is on, it shows BSY (green), and then both: DRD & DSC (green) as well.. but nothing happens apart from that. Drive ID cannot be read

Please let me know, what you think.

Regards,
Martin.
