June 4th, 2018, 21:30

Good day,

I've received this HDD from one of our clients
Model: ST500LM000
FW: SM30
PCB NO.: 100731589

I have tried swapped ROM to a donor PCB, without avail

Please advise

Best regards

When did you change PCB then disk start spinning?

Very popular problem with this disk is damaged nand. Then symptoms is like disk is completely dead without any noise and don't spin.

Really useless to swap ROM chip on an SSHD drive. If you need data - take it to some skilled engineer

Agreed with Masterclass. It's best if you do not mess with it yourself if you are not sure what you are doing.
