#Repair barracuda 7200.12 hdd for mac that fell windows
One problem was all these instructions out there used HyperTerminal as the terminal program, but Microsoft stopped bundling it for Windows Vista and later. I spent $13 for the cable, $9 for a crimper, and $5 for a RS232 DB9 female connector. While it looked easy on the videos, it didn’t work too well for me. Quite a few of them suggest to modify a Nokia CA-42 cable by cutting off the phone connector end and crimping 3 RS232 connector pins to the wires. There are several Youtube videos showing how it can be done. HDD-Parts sells a repair kit for $49.99, but I was hoping for some more affordable methods. Use the terminal program to re-create the partition data. Use the terminal program to send a few more commands to the disk to spin it up, and erase the S.M.A.R.T. While the power is still on, remove the non-conductive layer so the PCB and the chip make contact.ħ. Use a terminal program on the computer to send a couple of low level commands to the disk to spin it downĦ. Insert a non-conductive layer between the PCB and the chip on the disk so they no longer contact.ĥ. Loosen the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) of the disk with a Torx 6 screw driver.ģ. Rig a cable, typically with USB on one end to plug into a computer, and 3 wires on the other end to plug into jumper pins (TX, RX, and GND) on the disk.Ģ. The general steps for fixing the BSY problem are roughly the following:ġ. For the former, the disk is recognized by the computer but it shows the capacity as 0, and for the latter, the computer doesn’t detect the disk at all, which is the case I encountered. The bug manifests in 2 symtoms: the LBA=0 problem and the BSY problem. It looked very disturbing at first but after some research it turned out to be a common problem with a bug in the firmware and there is a fix for it. With SATA power cable connected I could feel the disk spinning inside, which told me it was not a mechanical problem, but the computer just would not recognize it no matter what I did (including putting it into an enclosure and plugging into another computer). The computer stuck on POST trying to detect the disk, and the disk activity LED was on steady, but it just would not recognize the disk. A few weeks back, my 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 disk bricked suddenly.
