Unable to unlock SED HDD : ROM section code not found.

Hi everybody

I tried SED unlock new option of PC3K but it doesn't work.
I have this ERROR message after reading locked ROM with Neo Programmer and CH341A USB module as described in Acelab video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znNgJkqJYrw :

ROM section code not found. This ROM is probably already unlocked!

But no it's still SED locked.

This is a WD 6tB wd60ezrz

1/ Did I make a mistake when I use Neo Programmer to save the ROM?

2/ Is this drive supported for unlocking SED process or I have to wait for next update of PC3K software?

Thanks


Imre

This is not locked ROM, but SED active in module 02
Without SED active likely data will be encrypted but can remove for SA repairs etc
