Peculiar Problem in WD400AAKX

Postby Imnew » 02.12.16, 11:35

The HDD gets ready but remains busy and is not identified. Does not allow to enter in kernel mode also.
Isolated the head contact. Could enter in kernel mode.
Blocked service area and restarted normal.
Not identified. Uploaded Dir in RAM
Restarted. Could save all modules.
Loaded module 11 and HDD is identified.
But doing anything , it shows Techno Key error.
Any solution please

Also can not save modules by ID.

Techno key is the vendor specific command that PC-3000 first initiates with the drive to put it into "techno" mode so you have advanced functions like reading & writing RAM, SA modules, etc.

Here's what I'd try first. With the SA blocked in ROM, backup the modules (as you already did), then perform slow responding fix to the drive. Re-enable SA access in ROM, and reboot firmware. Then see if it still gets stuck busy when you read ID.
