Seagate ST31000524AS Data Recovery : No ID

Issue:

Drive ID was not being detected in PC3000
Drive became ready but no terminal access
Terminal showed the following output:

Rst 0x20M
RW: Disc Ctlr Initialization Completed.
(P) SATA Reset

seagate ST31000524AS short points no drive ID

Solution:

Had to short the points. Timing is after the device is powered on, above message showed (and after the first click) to have terminal access. Drive ID was detected after clearing SMART via terminal but drive was still inaccessible.
