Hi
I have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with.
I have a seagate barracuda 7200 500gb sata drive firmware de12. It is not detected by the bios and I need to recover the data off it. Could it be corrupt firmware? drive spins and pcb looks fine nothing is burnt. Should I change the board or can I reset/reflash the firmware.
Next question
Does anyone know a way to test a 8GB SSD drive from a dell mini9?
Thanks
Carl

Find another laptop with a mini PCI Express slot.

Very likely it is a firmware bug. changing the PCB will not help, the problem is with the SA. Repair needs to be made through the Serial interface (RS232).
You have access to terminal on this disk?

Thank you do you know where I can get a list of commands for the terminal interface. I am right in thinking the drive is TTL level and I will need a rs232 to ttl convertor.

SMT reset command:
1> N1
Repair LBA = 0 command
T> m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22
Warning: The command can not be wrong, otherwise it will clear the data.
