Hi to all,

I have WD WD10JPCX (fblITE 2.5"). The disk sounds normal (no clics, no grinding, no stops), PC3k with the terminal (nirmal mode) shows the following message:

Techno mode key
Techno mode key......................... : Ok

RAM:
HDD Info reading........................ : Ok
Heads number............................ : 4

Zone allocation table................... : HDDs RAM reading error Device Error Detected: "VSCE PERM OVL NOT LOADED. LDR Upload is recomended"

SA Access............................... : Copy 0,Copy 1

Configuration reading................... : Module ID 02 reading error Data request error Device Error Detected: "Unknown error code: 3746"

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I think I can get the modules from another source but what bothers me is the "Unknown error code: 3746" and I don't know the correct order of the operations I need to do.

Thank you in advance. Please be kind

SA SPT Detect........................... : FAIL may be if heads can't see platters.
Also, FBLite drives can spin even if heads are bad.

In my opinion, it's head issue. But I also would like to see what another forum members would say

This is a pretty comprehensive article on how to handle most WD Marvell drives. Just be aware that if the heads are failed, you might be causing damage to the platters, so best take a look under the hood first.
