Techno key error: Can't write ROM

[Zero Alpha]

Hello gurus,

I have been trying to use a donor PCB for a WD rom restoration by SA, which didn't work. Now I can't even write the original ROM back to it. The pcb will no longer spin any drives. Any solutions?

PCB is dead now. It's not coming ready anymore

a little funny note:
Read Only Memory

Sounds like your ROM is corrupted..

[N.C.]

yes, you have wrote in one corrupted rom content, and your drive no longer function even for rom recording.

UDMA pinnacle...

Its a shame thats its unrepairable. I'll RMA it

It is probably repairable by patching the pcb with external flash memory preloaded with correct ROM image...
I also have one that failed writing and now it is bricked. I will try to patch once i have time

On maxtor DM9 works, but in WD....
I am doubt about it.
