Seagate hard drive fault

[Qlimax_airsoft]

Hi

My mate has an error with his HDD. I've checked it over and everything seems to be fine but when it's connected to a PC it boots making two beeps then dies. The platter arm skims over the platters once then that's it.

I think it's the pcb but wanted thoughts from others to see what they think.

Video attached is what it does.

Start with mapping the "two beeps" to the PC error codes. That will provide additional information or confirmation.

Check Seagate's forums for other problems with that model hard drive.


Again be aware that a full physical failure may lose data.
