Tell me is the drive is spinning after one minute ?
If not, you may try to recalibrate it.
1. press ctrl-z within "Terminal" tab
2. make sure F3 T> is displayed
3. type T>/2 and press enter
4. type 2>U and press enter

That should recalibrate your drive. If there is a problem error will appear within the terminal.


If commands will work, try to view the smart with
F3 T>/1
1>N6
1>N8

Then tell me the results.

If smart will report you a big output with errors, you may clear it with
1>N1

Then restart the drive and see if anytning is changed.

The error description did not give us much "Prefetch abort exeption".
If the methods above will not help try to find a donor with same model , resolder ROM and put its logic board on patient.
