Well Folks every guy who has Seagate 7200.11 & having problem must have read the very ultra famouse Gradius post and yes thats the right one which solves the issue ...

But there are lot of people ( WolfDie, mrkimrkonja, jackcaver)within the same post who tried Gradius solution and still had the error "Error 1009 DETSEC 00006008"

Even I had the same error but I saw something else on some other posts and finally came to conclusion that to solve the issue it requires more than cleaning the contact ... yes cleaning the contact is the real solution but how to clean those contacts

I mean it CLEANING THE CONTACT IS THE REAL SOLUTION But how to do that ( Ithink pichi or somebody else tried to CRY out that cleaning the contact is the real solution and it was )..

1. You must have ur sister's or girlfriend's nail polish thinner and a needle..

Deep the cotton bud generously in the thinner and then apply it on the head contacts on HDD circuit board  1.JPG (66.92K)
Number of downloads: 214so that there is thin layer of thinner. Keep this for abt minute before the thinner gets evaporated apply another layer of thinner continue this 3-4 times and then using the needle gently scratch the contacts you should see the NEW SHINING in the contact post scracthing them...Rub off all the thinner and apply the thinner again and brush it gently using the cotton bud ...

Post this apply thinnner for the head contacts on HDD  2.JPG (14.76K)
Number of downloads: 170.. but out here u need to just brush it .. take care that the thinner doesnt enters the spring gaps on head contact on HDD

Dry the ciruit and HDD for 1/2 n hour and try the entire GRADIUS solution again (http://www.msfn.org/...te-720011-hdds/) it should work,

Even if this doesnt works then u shld the check the connectivity on the ciruit board to nearest circuit element (capacitor, resistor etc.)

I tried your cleaning contacts with isypropl alcohol and scraping and still get this error message

Error 1009 DETSEC 00006008
Spin Error
Elapsed Time 7 mins 27 secs
R/W Status 2 R/W Error 84150180

any other suggestions???

Can you hear the drive spinning up?

Have you also cleaned the motor-contacts?

No the drive is just making a short buzz noise about every 10 secs..... yes I have cleaned the contacts to the motor and the heads

It sounds like either:

• The drive-motor is stuck.
  Gentry tap the side of drive with the handle-end of a screwdriver while
  power to the drive is applied and listen if it starts spinning.
  
• The motor-driver on the PCB is broken.
  Chances are you won't be able to repair the PCB yourself, so you're out
  of luck here...
  
• One of the motor-pins is bent and isn't able touch the pads on the PCB.

Just some wild guesses...

Autotek,

Apologize for delayed response, wht video ripper is saying could be there,


* The motor-driver on the PCB is broken. --------------- yes this could be the case ... you need to understand that this error is thrown only in the case when head contacts (HDD & PCB) are not making connection, Said that I would suggest u to make this connection in any possible way either by making solder or creating a separate connector and join the pcb and HDD head contacts ...


* One of the motor-pins is bent and isn't able touch the pads on the PCB. --- I doubt this could be the case ... but I would suggest u try this even by making some method of solder or using separate wires ..

I guarantee u tht this issue is solely due to connection not available between HDD & PCB contacts ... if u make the connection issue is solved...

Hi Autotek,

Please check my post in Gradius2's thread to see if there's anything there to help you out.

I was in a similar situation and somehow managed to recover my data (with some luck). However the the solution was NOT cleaning the contacts and neither was my logic board broken as I was able to test it on an identical drive and vice versa with the same results.

Cheers

Hi

I'd like to contribute.

I was faced with "Error 1009 DETSEC 0000600" and clicking sound.

The solution was to carefully clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol and re-try. After all I was able to recover the drive.
