ST2000LM003 Not Working Data Recovery Caselog

08SEP26: Samsung Spinpoint 2000gb 2.5" ST2000LM003 HN-M201RAD hard drive came in for data recovery from the Sunshine Coast QLD because its not detecting. The customer wanted their photos recovered. PCB: 100767980 REV A. When you power the drive up it makes a scratching sound and you can sometimes hear the heads click. The customer took this drive to a local Sunshine Coast computer store who could not get it to work and failed to recover the data. They recommended Zero Alpha for data recovery. This drive was inside a Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive, PN: 1K9AP9-501 2TB, model: SRD00F1. Below is a sample of the terminal output. Its common to change the heads in this situation but we eventually got H0 reading after 3 days. We got firmware access and made a backup but the drive failed from the stress. We we're able to upload a modified heads map to ram and create a heads map with H1. The drive has an apple HFS+ filesystem. We successfully recovered the files at over 80mb/s.

26NOV25: Heads 0 and 1 are weak, so drive takes a long time to load firmware from platters and initialise. This drive has a 3rd copy of the SA on H2. We can use "HDD initialisation with head map changing in RAM" to change head map to "2 2 2 3 4 5", then drive comes ready very quickly. Backed up SA. Imaged H2,3,4,5 at full speed. H0 and H1 can read data area but have some slow regions.

ST2000LM003 HN-M201RAD Customer Opened the Drive Caselog

26Nov25: This 2000gb 2tb samsung spinpoint hard drive was taken to Zero Alpha Brisbane for data recovery. The customer first talked about opening the drive because he is an engineer but when we told him he has done a lot of damage he denied that he opened it. The pcb: 100767980 Rev A had weird scratch marks to some heads pinouts and an inductor near the sata connector. They also damaged the pressure seals and left debris inside the drive. All this makes the job much harder because the pcb had no siginal and that would of been a simple fix for us. Watch our video to see how we recovered all the customers data.
