ST2000LM007 - Terminal Diag - SMART Reset

I'm hoping that a kind soul with more expertise than I might throw me an assist. I'm no expert, but believe I should be able to manage resetting SMART on a Seagate ST2000LM007. I picked up a PL2303HX USB-TTL RS232 Arduino off eBay, but am having difficulties with getting terminal T>. Based on my research, the pin config for the diag port should be:
___________________
| Pwr | GND | TX | RX | - |SATA| - |PWR|
----------------------

So, I've connected my pins accordingly; using 38400 8N1 None with Realterm, and have played around with multiple pin configs. I just can't seem to get to T> no matter what. About the best I'll manage is either a locked session that is unresponsive, or depending on the config it will spit a bunch of garbled data (in ascii- hex will display characters).

Wondering if my usb-ttl is junk, or rather inappropriate for this job.

Prolific USB-TTL pin scheme
- Red: + 5V
- Black: Ground
- Green: RXD
- White: TXD

Hoping someone can steer me towards the right config with the hardware I have, or steer me towards what I need to purchase. I have 2 Seagate drives (ST2000LM003 & ST2000LM007) that I'd like to reset SMART on. I've tried to include the pertinent information in the pics.

Thank you so much!

Looks like your settings are correct, but perhaps your Rx / Tx wires are shorting out to each other??? In that picture, it looks like you've got uninsulated terminators that are touching each other.

Also, TTL adapters are very cheaply made in most cases. Out of 5 that you buy one or two will often show up DOA and never work right. And if you short out any voltage to the Rx or Tx even for a second it'll usually ruin the adapter. I usually keep five or six extra on standby just for that reason.

Thank you very much for your feedback, Jared! I had to peel the insulators off the wire ends as they wouldn't fit in the port. I'm going to pick up a new one [url=https://www.ebay.com/i...ww.ebay.com/itm/CP2102-CP2104- ... Sw8b1Z~MSJ[/url]. I've read that cp2102 might be a better match for the RX/TX voltage on these drives.

Additionally, I've read that the Rosewood drives has some sort of terminal lock. Are you aware of any workarounds for this?

Obviously, I'm not in "the business", however, I am technically inclined. I just happened to ruin 2 of my drives, performing a Secure ATA Erase and suffered a power outage. The SMART has been tripped on both, but they should both be perfectly sound mechanically. And, I'm hoping I can simply get it reset.

Thanks again for your feedback. Be well,
Bryan

1. why would you ?
2. terminal might be locked

Ok, so I believe I need to reset SMART based on the following. As I do not have a terminal on this drive, the tools that I am using are the Seachest git. Here is my process up to this point. Note: BIOS recognizes drive. Windows recognizes drive. Disk Management prompts me to Initialize the Disk, and to give it a partition table MBR/GPT. Selecting either options gives me "Data Error (cylic redundancy check)".

Notice in drive information: "SMART Status: Tripped & ATA Security Information: Supported." I believe that I've been able to clear the password of the previous Secure ATA Erase attempt. As I understand it, if it were locked due to password... that field would say: "Supported, Frozen".

to bad the drive isn't working
