Hi
I have this Samsung that is always busy.
It spins OK, no clicks, no spin down.

I get this terminal:
SpnOk
DAC:-00410
H: +00000
SK C: 0000CC03
ENG>SRV>
SvoTbl Loaded
BD
ENG>LE
E:0001 - Inv Cmd
ENG>

I don't have a donor compatible here right now, so hot-swap is not possible for now.
Any other things I could do?

Thanks

Oh, sorry about that.

I have read ROM, but haven't checked inside.
I will check it later.
If ROM is bad, I can write one from a donor from same family, right?
Thanks

Altough the PC was flooded by water, the client (and myself to be honest) thought the HDD was bad too.
I checked PCB, it was fine, but getting that log...
After putting the jumper, I could access all data with minor bad sectors.
