ST31000528AS stays BSY for a while

Hi

I got this drive that stays busy for a while (about 1-2 minutes).

After that it goes RDY and ID well, but can't access data.
I have terminal access, V1, V40, head test, all work and give output.

But when I try to see data, I get error.
I have tried to reset SMART and G-List, but the same happens.
Any hints?
Thank You

Do you see any obvious issues in terminal after powering on?

There is no universal solution for all the drives, that's why we still not see the big "Repair all!" button in utility :)
try to do next: Make full SA backup.
1. Please check if 135 system file is read correctly. To do this enter T>r135 in terminal and send me the answer.
2. Also read 17a system file using the same command r17a.
3. Manually save 28 and 35 system files and send me they.
4. Regenerate the translator with the command T>m0,6,3,,,,,22.
5. Try to enter sector edit.
6. Tell me the results.

Hi

Actually the drive had 1 bad head. I could image all the other heads.
The strange is that the head test passed...
But case closed.
Thanks
