I have ST31000340AS 0MB problem

[hamidrcr]

MDL ST31000340AS
FW ST 35


In the beginning this media has BSY problem.

It did resolve but now it is showing me 0MB and unable to fix.

I did refer PC3K user manual and short circuit in PCB as per it said in manual.

Now I am getting following msg.



Test : Solution for problem "Translation violation (0 GB)"

Any one can help me in this case plz.

There is no need for shorting of PCB in this case. Does HDD knock the heads on powering?

If HDD powers, calibrates and remains powered with no knocking then I think you can resolve this by entering translation repair command manually. Maybe you can up the write retries if you have problems.
