Good afternoon, I have two ST3750330AS affected by the BSY error on my table so I tried to resucitate them according to directions posted here, BUT... ... i/ if I connect the drive to PC (via RS323toTTL board etc.) with the PCB _connected_ to the HDA (= norma state of HDD), I got in HyperTerminal something like this: ¯ïíïííííïímïíïíïïíïí¯ïíïíïíï¯í¯íííí¯ííïïíííïííïíïïíýïïííïííïíííííïííïíïïïíí ííííïííïíííïïííïïïíííïïïíïíïííííïïïïïïï¯íýíïíííííííýïï¯ýïïïíïïmÿ¯ïíý¯ïïïííïí LED:000000CC FAddr:0024A051ííííïííí LED:000000CC FAddr:0024A051íííííííííïïïïïíííýïïíïííííïííííïííï¯íïýïííÿ¯¯¯í ﯯí¯ï¯ïï¯íïoïýíïýï¯ííïíïííï¯íííoýííïïïíïííï¯íïíí¯íííí¯ýíííïííííííí¯ïíïí¯ïïí¯íí íïííííímíííïímïoíííïííí}mí}ïmïííïííííííííïíïï¯ííííííííïííïíïíÿ¯míïïïïíïí¯ This is not exactly what I would expect, but the error message ("LED:000000CC FAddr:0024A051") seem to be "correct" so I think the RS232toTTL board and all the wires around work fine, BUT... ... ii/ if I try the same with the PCB disconnected from the HDA (as described in directions) I can't get any response from the drive / enter the terminal session, neither Ctrl+Z nor any other of "online commands" work and the "F3 T>" prompt doesn't appear. :-(( Does anyone have any idea what could I do wrong? Many thanks for any help. HappyBear
