FW: Maxtor 4D040H2, Firmware DAH017KZ Loader needed please - Case solved

[dradra]

Case solved

Drive well and truly flogged

Swapped platter (due to very worn noisy spindle bearings), heads and PCB to donor chassis

Spun up and came ready but still no cap

Loaded LDR and fixed damaged P-list

Power cycle, drive came ready and id with correct cap

Imaged with loads of media defects (to be expected for a drive that hummed along 24/7 for close to 19 years). Try getting that sort of lifespan out of a modern drive :)

Managed to recover 98% of sectors till it quit again

Data looks to be recovered

 

Have a great weekend all!

Great Work James, that's a good win to finish the weekend, beer time now.

AFAICT, module 0x18 is the P-List, yet its checksum was 0xFFFF, so there was no indication that it was bad???

Thanks Tim, Oded  and all

 

Have a great weekend

Thanks Frank. My Atola highlighted it as an issue and the repair function was able to sort it. I don't have any other tools for Maxtor firmware so thankfully it worked.
