FAQ

Hi everybody,
This hard disk belongs to one of my friends. It has fallen and has a 'head crash' now according to data recovery place. (but they don't do head replacement). She does not want to repair the hard disk but needs her data back. Please let me know if there is someebody on this forum who can help with this at a reasonable price. I am living in Germany so somebody from Germany or Europe will be preferred.

Hard disk details:
Brand: Fujitsu Model: MHT2040AT Capacity: 40GB Let me know if you need more details. Thanks in advance Mara

Hello
Toshiba MK4025GAS 40GIG HDD2190 E ZK01S The drive shorted out on connector lots of burning smell Can the pcb be replaced easily with one from a new drive without a chip change if not which chip needs changeing ? Can get a mk4024gas hhd2190 g zk01 s Thanks

New subject: Re: Toshiba mk4025gas shorted on connector
PCB swap will NOT work on Toshiba HDD's as there is adaptive (drive specific data) on each pcb. Modification work would be required, it has been discussed previously on this forum. Try the search box and you'll find more info.

New subject: Re: Toshiba mk4025gas shorted on connector
This not needs any link. In Toshiba, without the original and working pcb, you haven't got the reading adaptive parameters for recalibrate the drive nor the slip list. Without these the recovery is extremely hard. Janos

New subject: Re: Toshiba mk4025gas shorted on connector andrew2010 wrote: The connector plastic is burnt and pins lose ... I can't see exactly what happened, but it could be that the IDC pins were making poor contact, in which case the current may have cooked the connector due to ohmic heating in the high resistance joint.
Alternatively, you may have overvolted the PCB, in which case the TVS (?) diode D1 may have short circuited and caused an excessive current to flow. However, I would have expected fuse (?) F1 to go open in such a case. If you have a multimeter, set it to the 200 ohms range and measure the resistances of F1 and D1. If D1 is short circuit, remove it. If F1 is open circuit, bridge it with a wire link, or replace it with a picofuse (3A ?). Just be sure your power supply is OK because doing the above will leave your drive without protection. If you want to replace the diode, you can use an SMAJ5.0A from Farnell, Mouser, Digikey.

Here is the pinout of your connector: pins 41-44: http://pinouts.ru/HD/Ata44Internal_pinout.shtml pins 1-40: http://pinouts.ru/HD/AtaInternal_pinout.shtml If you decide that you would rather replace the whole board, then you will need to transplant the 8-pin serial EEPROM chip at IC12 (?) from patient to donor. Before you do so, confirm the part number under the paper label.

BTW, I'm not experienced in DR, so I'm seeing your PCB for the first time. The pros will tell you to search this forum for answers, but what little specific information there is, is often impossible to find. Most of the News look like they've been hacked out in SMS-ese on a mobile phone keypad, so from that point of view they are worthless. Anyway, best of luck.

hello all sorry no update today eyes too tired. fzabkar thankyou for a detailed and comprehensive reply I may wait for a replacement hard drive/pcb, which numbers have to match for a sucessful transplant of EEPROM chip at IC12? How much would a Pro charge to recover data from this drive and how long would it take? This could be a viable alternative if all else fails.
Thankyou

One other thing I would check would be whether the end pins are still making contact with the circuit board, especially the loose one. It may just be a matter of resoldering it.

New subject: Re: Toshiba mk4025gas shorted on connector
Hello drc Why the rolling eyes ? Just wanted to confirm the donor drive codes and component markings. The components are very small, in some cases smaller than letter markings on pcb. I am familiar with larger electronic components but this is first time on 2.5'' drive so am a newbie. Thankyou.

so one of my family decided to use a program to delete there hard drive. but as they where doing the reformat the power went of in the house. the drive in qeastion is a seagate ST9808211A MOMENTUS it has got what it says a frozen password locked so i can not unlock it with pc3000 anyone know which pin it is to short out so i can unlock this drive for them thank you

New subject: Re: SEAGATE HARD DRIVE FROZEN password LOCKED
ok i found out that they used a program on hirens bootdisk and the drive program frozen the hard drive. so you can not delete it

New subject: Re: SEAGATE HARD DRIVE FROZEN password LOCKED
There should be a solution still... Data Recovery lab (mumbai) - Data recovery

New subject: Re: SEAGATE HARD DRIVE FROZEN password LOCKED
I agree, password should still be possible to remove. Maybe problem is not ATA lock, but other problems causing problems with identification/interface which reports itself as ATA lock? I have seen some cases in the past where bad interface or bad PCB causes bad ID and ATA lock appears to be present....

Hi all,
The site offers a firmware update for seagate hard disk http://files.Hard Disk Recovery Lab.com/download/Firmw ... s/Seagate/ (The one on the bottom - 8h_SD1A.zip ) How do I use it? How to update the firmware of the wanted hard drive? Thank you very much!

New subject: Re: How do I update the hard drive's firmware?
The drive has to be in full working order to apply the firmware. It's a firmware UPDATE, not a repair. PC Image Data Recovery www.pcimage.co.uk

New subject: Re: How do I update the hard drive's firmware? I would advise you to avoid HDD Guru firmware downloads. Instead, the most recent firmware updates are available from Seagate's web site: http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/mes ... ad.id=8968 There are Windows versions and CD ISO (FreeDOS) versions. If your drive is suffering from the BSY bug, let us know.

New subject: Re: How do I update the hard drive's firmware?
Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. How do I know if my problem is the "bsy bug"? thank you guys! unknown20010

New subject: Re: How do I update the hard drive's firmware?
Just connect it to your PC and see what will happen. If detected normally ( with real capacity ) then your drive is (approx.) working fine, if not detected or detected but with 0MB then you have to fix your drive first then update the firmware. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

New subject: Re: hdd laptop st9500325as 500 seagate head fail
as the hard drive has been dropped it wont be a rom flash problem the reason for it to be clicking all the time is that it has lost its service area alighment so that why its 0 bytes and its more likely possible headstack damaged which your have to replace.

Hi guys. i've recently bought a WD 500GB hard drive. IT works fast and cool (relatively, betweeen 35 to 41). But it makes an annoying sound while reading\writing data. http://www.easy-share.com/1909109017/Hd ... 0noise.WMA 3.3 MB High quality http://www.easy-share.com/1909109047/Hd ... ise56k.wma (For 56k users) 0.9 MB

Please listen to the recorded file and let me know if it's a broken drive. Please note that there is no distance between the hole on the top of the HDD and microphone, that's why it's so clear and a bit loud.
Some folks say it's pretty normal. That's usually what you hear when there is a read/write process. One guy said the heads are touching the disc, tough it wont damage the disk itself and the psu won't cause this; it lies solely in [b]the construction of the drive.[b]

:?: What do you Guys think? Is this HD reliable?

New subject: Re: New WD Hard drive making grinding/scratchy noise (recorded s
Sounds abnormally scratchy - take it back. No hdd these days should be annoying to live with.
New subject: Re: New WD Hard drive making grinding/scratchy noise (recorded s
pixels, i did that, they said that's pretty normal, it's just reading/writing data. Did they lie to me? :oops: BTW, They are not an official WD branch. The dirve is made in thailand, not america. :?

New subject: Re: New WD Hard drive making grinding/scratchy noise (recorded s
IMHO this sounds not OK at all. A current hard drive should not emmit such a combination of scratching/clicking noises. That can't be healthy in the long run.
Seeking noises that most drives produce are OK, but this constant high frequent sound, even right after powering it on sure doesn't sound like it is normal.

BTW, They are not an official WD branch. The dirve is made in thailand, not america. :? I wouldn't go so far as to say they lied to you. In the past I have found wd to have an annoyingly clicky head seek, but I'm sure their current drives are much improved in this regard.

But yours seems not only somewhat clicky, but to have an added intermittent high pitched squealy sound behind that. I certainly wouldn't put up with it or trust it. You may find that many wd's are made in thailand, the ones I have are.

Quote: Sounds abnormally scratchy eh? ???????

If you can keep your head when everyone else is losing theirs, maybe you don't understand the situation.
New subject: Re: New WD Hard drive making grinding/scratchy noise (recorded s
Ok, so the conclusion is that this is not a normal noise, and it needs to be fixed. Thank you for this information. But how? How can i fix this? What is causing this sound? Can anyone guess? Maybe i should ask an expert to do this. Because..... ..i'm not very good at fixing sensitive devices.

Hello everybody, this my first New in this forum. I would like in advance all of you will give me some hints.

After powering a WD5000KS enclosed in a USB external case with the power supply of a different USB case (having as I discovered later a different arranging of the 12v and 5v), the Western Digital 500Gb SATA HDD was burnt. I can clearly see (apart of some cracked components) even a PCB trace which is blown. Oboviously the disk is not even recognized by BIOS, does not spins when connected to power (and so on) but still full of my data...

I waited one year to find a donor HDD at an affordable price on ebay (10$). Donor is WD500ks-00MNB0
13-APR-2006 HBACAJAA WMANU1148800
pcb (WHITE LABEL) 2061-701383-E00 AB XW3H11 2Y66 1 0007380 6387 pcb label on the side without components is 2060-701383-001 REV A and 04V-0
Receiver is WD500ks-00MNB0 06-MAR-2006
HBACAJAA WMANU1093539
pcb (WHITE LABEL) 2061-701383-E00 AC XW3H11 12RZ 1 0001350 6351 pcb label on the side without components is 2060-701383-001 REV A and 04V-0
As you see the receiver has a pcb white label with has an AC instead of AB and with 0001350 instead of 0007380, but the other labels are identical.
The ebay seller told me that the receiver HDD was dead but: 1) this disk is still detected by BIOS (so PCB is working, I suppose), 2) Partition Magic recognizes 4 partitions but any trial to delete them and reformat resulted in error #111117, so as the seller told, the disk is non working I swapped the PCB and the receiver HDD now spins and I heard the heads moving a couple of times but is not even recognized by BIOS (the BIOS shows it with a empty label during startup and crashes when I try to manually detecting the disk entering in the BIOS). In other words, when I put the donor PCB on the donor disk, at least BIOS detect it and show a label (lot of numbers...) but when the same PCB is applied on the receiver, not even recognized (and also partion magic does not show it).

So my question is: the donor PCB+Receiver HDD could be not working due to a incompatible firmware issue or maybe the 12v-5v swap has blown even the receiver heads / preamp? In the first case maybe I can go on an try a ROM swap (I have some knowledge on electronics even if surface mount wothout the proper tools are a nightmare), in second case I have just to trow both HDD by the window. Any suggestions are welcome. Clearly, the data inside the blown HDD are not worth the cost of a professional data resue. Thanks. Ettore

Removing the logic board, I do not see any burns or scorches, but there is a bit of browning of the foam insert right where the controller chip sets. Finding another donor drive for parts should be reasonably cheap and easy. My question is: What are the odds that a logic board swap would allow me to recover the data? Would I also need to swap out the pre-amp inside the drive? If it is worth the effort to do a logic board swap, what other drives use the same logic board, and would I need to switch the ROM also? Or should I just call the drive dead and move on? Thanks! -jjoelc {Edited to correct typo in board sticker info...} Swapping out logic boards will not repair your drive. The problem is in the drive and needs to have the heads changed out on this drive. The alignment problem for this drive is very difficult and requires a professional to do this work. I am located in Europe Greece and have the experience necessary to work on this drive. I have clients from all over sending me their WD drives to change the heads on and recover data from them. If you are interested in a price quote or work on your drive please PM me and I will contact you for the work. We have changed out over 70 WD heads in the last month and a half with 100% success rate on recovery. I had 3 drives with head crashes which can not be changed out due to the damage of the platters on the drives. I feel like your drive has suffered damage but considering it was readable for a few days after the fall this drive has a good chance of recovery. I want to add , we don't use home lab or nylon clean-room and tools from ARIS .

Drive info:WD6400AKS logic board imprint:2060-701537-003 REV A logic board sticker: 2061-701537-E00 07PD3 XW 5N22 ADMF 2 0002170 9172 Has about 320GB data on it. ~2GB pictures (priority recover) ~35GB music (lesser priority) and the rest are DVD rips that are recoverable, just time intensive to re-rip. Was being used in a USB external enclosure. Drive was working beautifully until about 2 days after it was knocked over while powered on (just from upright to prone position on shelf, no drop involved) Drive was powered on, but inactive when this happened. About 2 days later, started getting file access errors, later that evening quit recognizing entirely. I really don't think the drop was the cause, but I mention it just in case...

PC3000 correctly shows the drive parameters during detection but after it I cannot access data. The terminal shows that some sector could not be read. It tries to read that sector continuesly. I try to stop the process with CTRL+Z, and when I put CTRL+C (reload cert code) drive starts reading data through 3-4 secs. After it the process starts from the beginning. Unfortunately I cannot find suitable ldr for that drive, so can you help me with it? I need ldr or some tricks to get data. I will be very appreciated for help.
