PC-3000 Forum

Sorry to ask a rudimentary question; however, I have been away for 5 months.

I have a drive that is making a clicking sound. Hooking it up to the PC3000, in the Utility mode I receive the following response.

Selected family......................... : MHV2xxxAT/AH
Selected model.......................... : MHV2100AT
Model by HDD ID......................... :

Reading module table from SA...
SA module table isunreadable!
Loading : HS, head map module......................................... : Error
Error................................................................. : Can`t read module 0104 from HDD
Loading : PL, single sector defect list and zone allocation table modu : Error
Error................................................................. : Can`t read module 0102 from HDD


The DRD DSC are blue ERR ABR are Red

I have a donor drive; however when I swapped the PCB I received the following error

Selected family......................... : MHV2xxxAT/AH
Selected model.......................... : MHV2100AT
Model by HDD ID......................... :

I then took the Original PCB and placed it on the donor drive and the drive spun up and was functional.

When I try to read the ROM I receive the following message

Test : Reading ROM
Reading ROM to file ( Z:\PC3000\!Profiles\!Profiles\FUJ25\MHV\FUJITSU MHV2100AH-000000A0-NT60T6A27RNV\Data\ROM\ROM.bin )
Error reading ROM

At this point, would I be correct to say that I have to replace the heads?
Thanks for any input

Yes by the "syntomphs" could be MHA, u should check the MR sensor´s to tried to diagnostic if heads are Ok, or no that is only one way ,

clicking in Fujitsu mean head was damaged. you need to change head. this series have 4 head. and I hope nothing going bad in platter.

clicking mean head problem in Fujitsu drive.. You need to change head to save its data. and off course I hope nothing going bad in platter

Good luck

Thank you for your replies.

Alberto,
I do not understand what you meant when you stated "should check the MR sensor&#180"

What is the MR Sensor and what is the 180 signify?

Frank

MR Magneto Resistive Sensor part of the Read/Write Element´s (MHA) , 180 was a word changed after i post it each time i wrote the word " sensor on plural
