For above patient ST4000LM024 HDD data recovery, users need to open the patient HDD in clean room, find donor heads and swap the heads with proper hdd head replacement tools to continue.

This is one very common Seagate F3 hard drive firmware repair and data recovery case study.

Patient HDD Symptom:

In the com terminal, the drive outputs SATA reset and it shows the drive doesn’t have major firmware corruption but the problem is that the patient hdd doesn’t get ready and users need to wait for a long time to be ready.

For this kind of case, users need to be very patient with the patient hdd, users need to enter the main firmware repair software interface, sometimes, users need to manually select hdd family or need to use boot mode to read hard drive ID from the PCB.

After the patient hdd gets ready, users can unlock the firmware area and backup important SYS files or backup important sys files directly.

Next users just need to disable vacant active and turn off the media cache and then power off and on the patient HDD, the patient HDD will be perfectly fixed. If this kind of simple repair can fix the patient HDD failure, users don’t need to regenerate translator.

There are many new hard drives using new mini bios chips on the PCB containing the rom modules and hex data. Some PCBs have one mini bios chip and some PCBs have two mini bios chips: rom chip 0 and rom chip 1.

Mini rom chip size: 4mm x 3mm and 3mm x 2mm
HDD Mini ROM Chip Reader Pro. 4-3
HDD Mini ROM Chip Reader Pro. 3-2

If the pcbs have two mini bios chips, users need to read the rom one by one and name them as rom 0.bin and rom 1.bin and when users are going to write rom, users need to write rom0.bin to rom 0 chip and write rom 1.bin to rom chip 1.

These new drives are mainly Seagate new drives, Seagate helium drives, WD hitachi helium drives and also some other new drives too.
