HubbleLT can't read Module 04

[PeskyBit]

I have a WD3200LPVT that comes ready, but I can't access the data (goes busy). Drive does not ID either in Normal Mode. Shorting TV9-TV10, I can get the drive to ID with ROM 'XYZ' and can see firmware modules. I can read all modules except module 04. I have tried all of the normal solutions like slow-fix, etc, but I still can't read data. Any thoughts? Could it be a bad head and I can't read module 04 because it is so large?

What tool are you using?

A donor module 4 can be used from the same FW if you have it. Or you might try moving the module location if you can read a good copy from another head.

This was given to me from a local computer repair shop...not sure what tinkering they may have done, but probably no firmware manipulation.

I am using Dolphin tools. I also have access to MRT as well.

I thought I had tried loading module 11 and loading Dir to RAM, but will try again.

I haven't been able to locate a compatible set of FW, the drive is somewhat rare. 3200LPVT-00FMCT0 ROM version is 5000T. Couldn't find it here, HddSurgery, or Dolphin repositories.

Already ordered donor HD for swap, but it is behaving like firmware and would obviously prefer that solution.
