Who can help me?

Can anyone give a clear, straight answer on this?

On my WD5000AAKS, the raw value for attribute 187 is 260. Current is 100, worst is 50. These errors don't seem to be increasing anymore (I've been monitoring it for a year now), which is really weird, since attributes 05, C5, C4, C6, and C7 are all 0.

Everyone I've asked just gives me some vague answer like "it's a count of unrecoverable errors" or something completely different. I still haven't figured out exactly what this attribute actually means or what causes it.

The only thing I've done is run some experiments on a dying Seagate, and on that drive these errors did increase along with bad sectors—but there were dozens of times more of them than actual bad sectors.

Raw read error rate = 260 too.

PLEASE help

Please advise. Is this the end for the drive, or is it a TV issue, or a port problem? I plugged in a Seagate 2.5" (condition unknown) to a wall outlet — the sounds were normal, so the drive seems fine mechanically. Then I connected it to the first USB 2.0 port on the TV, and it started making a scraping noise — like "grr, grr..." — so I unplugged it. I then connected it to the second port, also USB 2.0, and it mounted normally, spun up, made head calibration noises, and rattled a bit. After that, the TV displayed "connection error — do you want to fix errors on the drive?" Both ports are USB 2.0, and the drive is a Seagate 2.5" 7200 RPM. Please help me🥹

Who can tell me if there is a modem's death?

Who can tell me if there is a modem's death? I inserted my SIM into the iPad 2, he saw it, said that the SIM is blocked by a pin code, then when I unlocked it, it always writes a search. Is it death, or can't he just find the already disconnected 2G/3G networks? There is no 3G in my city, there is only 2g
