OMG, just bought 500GB Seagate last year on october...now this happens....

hopefully i wont face this prob, no more money to buy another HDD la....

if i update the firmware, all of my data will erase or not?

For those with drives which have self bricked and aren't detected in the BIOS, let me save you some time. The AD 14 firmware upgrade Seagate is going to be offering you guys won't work. The tool itself will be unable to detect the drive. I just got the e-mail from Seagate tech with the firmware and tried it. Nada.

There is a fix up on http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128807
for the strong at heart. Gonna see what Seagate says about that free data recovery, failing which i'm gonna debrick my own drive and ask for another model.

SD14 is out. Anybody tried it yet?

it won't

i still haven't receive any e-mail from Seagate
anyone got any reply yet? the phone reply does not seem to be helpful
and what is this SD14 firmware? can fix the problem of the old SD15?

The firmware can't unbricked a bricked HDD. It is suppose to prevent the problem. What i would like to know is there and AD14 users who has a bricked HDD as well?
