Manually installing firmware.

I have a screenplay pro HD on my workbench and it will not boot up. The blue light flashes, on the TV the loading wheel does not go past the 3o’clock position and the HDD sound like it is not spinning up properly.

The hard drive is a 1TB Seagate ST3500418AS firmware version CC44 and date code 09421. I have plugged the HDD into an external caddy and the drive spins up and I have recovered all the data from the NTFS partition.

With the HDD plugged into the screenplay and then connected to the pc via usb I have tried to re-flash the firmware but the firmware loader cannot see the device.

Is there a way of manually loading the firmware directly onto the HDD? I don’t mind having to format the disk I have the data backed up. My client would just like to have the device working again and would be happy to pay for a replacement hard drive rather than the whole device. G7oea (talk) 20:24, June 24, 2013 (UTC) Phil
