Seagate ST31000DM001

[desiBhai]

I purchase same firmware different date and I swap PCB but no luck. Is there a way to read cFeon S40-756IP 131A13EC and copy to new PCB?

Also original PCB was reading very slowly whe. It was working. I.e. 20GB took 5 hours to copy. Is that head issue or it is Media problem?

The problem never had anything to do with the PCB in the first place. These drives have issues with the media cache and bad sector reallocation functions. It can be fixed by modifying some settings in the firmware, but you'll probably need a PC-3000 tool to even unlock the TTL port.

I reach to the point where I can connect to TTL port. What is the command I have to issue to fix media cache and reallocation issue.

First you should post the terminal log.
Don't start sending commands like crazy or you might damage it even more.
