Hi

I have HTS545032B9A300 and when i start autodetect i get this info pic error1.

Also I have read the text from knowledge base of acelab web site but i cannot go to techno mode



Please help I am kind new in this bussiness.

Thanks

What are the symptoms when you power the drive.

When disk start it clicks few times but quietly and status registers are up DRD and DSC. And when I hit autodetect or tried manualy error register is up and ABR register is up, no hdd id.

You are using the wrong utility. This disk is supported in Hitachi/IBM utility under custom families.

I found the model in custom list but still no HDD ID. What to try next?

Here is new logo window with errors

I have found almost same model of the disk (Hitachi HTS545032B9A300-PB3OC60N-100410PBN3001TJX414R)
I have made resource backup of this disk. This disk on sticker on PCB has only last letter in second line different then my damaged drive.
Then i tried to put his NV-RAM on my damaged and i have succeeded also i tried to write ROM on my damaged disk and succeeded. BUT I CANNOT get HDD ID!!!!
Can someone help please?
Thanks

More than likely the heads are the problem here.

I just had a HTS725032A9A364 come in today returning this exact same error message. No clicking, got ready really quickly, but no SA access, can't read modules directory, etc.

Changed heads, and am now imaging at 104Mb/s.

Yes, basically it's a Heads issue.
But sometimes drive has been in other DR lab (before your) and now it have a not original PCB...
So, one more little trick is check S/N in NVRAM editing window and compare it with S/N on the HDD label.
