Hi All,

I have a WD FBLite 2.5" hard drive (WD10JPVX-60JC3T0) when it is powered on the drive buzzes/beeps 6 times before DRD + DSC is lit, but also ERR and AMN.

Auto detect works and detects the model/family, but defaults to starting in kernel mode and no HDD info is displayed.

I have tried advice from previous questions such as blocking SA access and uploading LDR and firmware of a suitable donor into ram, etc; which gives the XYZ model but no capacity.

Trying to run a heads test after performing this gives "ERR DISK SERVO ACTUATOR AI TIMEOUT". Would the slow drive fix offer any solution, or is there anything else I could try?

Thanks!

Put your ear to the drive and switch it on. Does it beep without spinning?
What you are seeing is the PCB info, not the actual drive SA.

Heads may be parked on platters, need to open the drive in clean box and check inside.
