WD40EMAZ-51TKPB0 family? loader? Any chance?

April 6th, 2021, 12:13

Hello everybody,

I've this WD40EMAZ-51TKPB0 Drive out of WD Elements 3.5 external Storage.

The family woun't be recognized in PC3000.

It has a 2060-800077-003 PCB, which is locked.

Heads are slightly cklicking and after some attempts HDD spins down.

With a delocked 800077 PCB I got access to ROM and could block SA Access in SA Regions. If I activate only Head 0 in ROM it woun't click anymore and continues to spin, but I didn't find any donordrive to get a donor head or a donor loader to try to get access without doing a head swap.

Any suggestions? Thank you very much.
