Thank you all, yes it is original PCB, it is from external MAXTOR Onetouch 4, but the drive is seagate. When i got the drive it was sealed and nobody has opened it.

just read the cert code with PC3K it probably has some read errors, maybe drive was dropped and it is a small scratch (which goes through SA) on it now

I meant read the CERT code physically (as tracks) not by Ctrl R command; to prove it has read errors
And as far as I see adaptives were not initialized which means the drive has read errors not only in CERT code, several other modules could be unreadable
I am very positive about a small scratch now

Will loading ldr from same firmware revision work?

Anyone got a firmware for ST3500630AS? The drive has a firmware 3.AFM , eng code. 0AU, ROM S-7A

Thanks
