Hello,

I am trying to swap the PCB on a seagate pipeline HDD model number ST3320310CS.(all the pcb's i am replacing are from drives which are not spinning up)

I have matched all the numbers which are normally required but all i am getting is corrupt firmware.

Does anyone have any idea about what else is required with these drives?Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

What does this mean?

Terminal log would help.

Hi,

Our sytem doesn't give a log, im testing the drive to make sure it is test ready, so it will give a pass or fail. In this case im just getting Corrupt firmware.

This is not uncommon and usually means the drive is bad, but all of the drives i have swapped boards on say this, so im guessing there is something else which needs to be done. Perhaps a Rom chip?Or will i need to use PC3000 or something?

Looking more, looks like those are F3 architecture which means the ROM contains adaptives, yes. PC3000 does not support these currently.
