Hello Spildit and thank you for your reply
Full model is wd1003fzex-00k3ca0 wd black

I use PC3000
I didn't change rom. This is message from pc3000

"HDDs ROM reading error: Data transfer timeout"

it could be SED ? can you read ROM if you set jumper to kernel mode ?

In case of work with the removed controller TresXLB2
- First you have to autodetect the family
- and then load the 5C module
- load module 11 -> DRD DSC goes out -> click on "Cancel"
- the following window appears, click "OK"
- click "Cancel"
- click on "Utility start".

* Modules 5C and 11 not need to be in the same version as the ROM

Thank you all for replay and suggestions.

Probably I was not clear enough.


1. drive spin OK without any problem. Remain busy.
2. PCB with external ROM
3. only PCB connected to PC3000 become ready after some time.
4. PC3000 detect family in Kernel mode, star utility but report ROM read error
5. Read ROM or ROM modules not possible.
6. I try WD Blue drive, same family, same PCB(backup resources without problem on WD blue)
7. I try to read ROM with jumpers set, same problem

It seems weird, but to work with the PCB itself you must first load the loader (for TresXLB2)
Do EVERYTHING as I wrote

Sometimes you need to load the 5C module, then the module 10 and only then the module 11

Thanks to Mikippp I manage to read ROM and modules

I didn't have time to perform another steps.

I check drive behavier.
drive spin up OK, after 30seconds spin down and spin up. After another 30 seconds spin down and remain busy with error satatus register.

[jerovsek]

are there any special steps to get Access to SA

I suspect heads.

Drive spin up normally, then after some time spin down and imediatelly spin up, then after some time spin down.Error in status register.

Any suggestion

Thank you
