you should find the model manually from the seagate models that shown when you enter the utility.

I find the exactly model, but when iam selecting the Starting LDR ....show me the above MESSAGE BOX

"Terminal : reply timeout error"

This happened after guidance of Filipp engineer , which he told me to
put back the patient PCB ... (but i have a donor pcb if we need it)

what i have to do know?

If PCB is bad, why would you want to change heads?

Why you want to start loader? If PCB was bad, and you swap it out and problem is not solved, how can you be sure it was pcb? does original PCB power the drive, if it does what output does it have at terminal?
