I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with this. I was watching a video yesterday on my laptop and three quarters through the screen just froze. It wouldn't respond to anything. I had to do a hard reset. When it tried to come back up it never completed Post and now it will not recognize the hard drive. Running diags only shows two attempts at a "DST short test" with the failure code 2000-0141displayed, and no options to load a HDD protocol or make an changes in the HDD. Does anyone know if this is repairable or am I screwed? Thanks for any assistance. Lenny     --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news@netfront.net ---

Both times, a new disk fixed it. Freezing is a common outcome when the hard disk disappears while booted off of it.   0141 is an indication that the disk is missing, not that the disk reported a failure. Ignoring improper seating and damaged connectors, the usual cause is mechanical failure (head out of tolerance / crashed onto disk, scraped platters, etc.). Most modern disks read disk parameters and even the firmware from the platters, so a mechanical failure that prevents it from reading the system tracks will often prevent the BIOS from seeing the disk.   If you remove the hard disk, the system will likely POST at a more normal pace, then complain about the lack of something to boot from.

It wouldn't respond to anything.   Can you hear the disk spinning?   Power management may have stopped the drive while watching the video. Then any next access to the disk (say some operation with the swap file) could freeze the OS if the drive doesn't spin up again.   I have had many drives in the past needing repeated power cycling before they would start: last calls for a final backup...   Cheers!

I've seen a lot of reflow repairs where flexing or thermal cycling is inconclusive. Make sure you don't miss the crystal/resonator. Thoroughly clean the board afterwards as some unseen residues can wreak havoc with processor ICs.   Thanks. I'll definitely try that if I can't get it fixed under warranty.   Bob

Standard as they all work at 34 KHz , same frequency as > the old audio ping remotes.   AFAIK: there are 3 inbuilt filter frequencies; 36, 38 and 40kHz and its usually suffixed to the part number - not that they ever stamp it on the physical part.   Having said that - I made a remote tester with a randomly selected sensor from whatever equipment I scrapped last, it responds to all the remotes I've used it to test.   Between them, the various manufacturers have used every possible permutation for the layout of the 3 pins - when I salvage them, I leave them on the front panel PCB so I can trace the tracks and figure out which pin does what.
