SEAGATE ST3300831A PCB swap question...
Eum.. I have a friend Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3300831a 300Gb firmware: 3.03 and I know I need a PCB swap, but that firmware is impossible to come by I got a harddrive with firmware 3.01 but it just makes clicking nosises... does that mean it's not spinning up?Eum.. my dad keeps telling me it's possible to upgrade the firmware.. but I have no clue how to do it or where to get it (not off the fried board, right?).
Seagate people (yeah.. i called them about a pcb swap) said that it's impossible to upgrade firmware... is that true?
Thank you all so much.. help is appreciated.. Clicking problem is something different. and if you are thinking that upgrading 3.01 to 3.03 will make your hard disk ok. Forget it. If need data go to some data recovery company.
DF darkforce, wth? 'something different' meaning? Your post didn't help...
If going to a company and paying 700 bucks for data recovery was an option, do you think I would be posting here?
Why wouldn't upgrade work? I read that it might help.. wow.. such a bad reply... Hi,
what is the problem with the original board?
pepe In the original board the protector diode fried.. so instead of removing it (like I read later)... my dad and I put in another one.. which fried some chips...
I was hoping to replace burned chips.. but now I know it's useless to do that, so i was kind of after the PCB..but PCB with my firmware is impossible to come by
