Post subject:  Need Firmware for WD30EZRX-22D8PB0 PCB 2060-771945-001

Hello,
I own a hard drive from the manufacturer Western Digital Model WD30EZRX-22D8PB0 PCB 2060-771945-001, which I can not access anymore.
If the hard disk is connected, the Bios Post takes 1-2 minutes and it will not be recognized on Windows or if it is detected then it will not be able to access it.
It is not possible to access the properties via the Device Manager and Disk Management can no longer be called.
A donor PCB with the same data I could get me in the exchange, the HDD was recognized as WD10EZRX, then I exchanged the ROM. But the mistake is also present again with the dispenser PCB with the old Rome and with the original PCB with the dispenser Rome the HDD is recognized as WD10EZRX.
This indicates to my knowledge that the original ROM is broken.
Now I'm sitting there for days and looking on the Internet for possibilities the PCB with the ROM, which recognize the plate as WD10EZRX flash again.

Thanks in advance and best regards

I think your original ROM and PCB are working just fine.
Your WD drive belongs to Diablo3S family, your drive most likely has a "weak head" and some firmware issues that needs to be taken care of.

Thanks for the answer.
That's what i'm thinking to but i can't find any firmware for my drive and i can't find any useley software to flash the drive.
Only what i find is sediv and this dont run under Windows 10 and i dont have Win 7 here.

do yourself a favor (if the data inside it is important) and stop messing arround with the FW
you can easily brick the drive while trying to put another drives FW

I know that I can damage the drive by flashing a wrong firmware. I'm also from the computer industry. That's why I'm looking for the right one or do you know another way how I get the data. It would be enough for me to copy the data to another disk, what is the drive with after that I do not care. But please no recovery and rescue company recommendations.
The data are important but not so much that I would pay 300-500 €.

You can’t just “flash” firmware on a hard drive, it’s not a mobile phone.

Please just STOP messing with it, you’ll just make it worse.

of course I do
as A matter of fact there is only 1 way and it doesn't involve flashing the FW from another drive
but you know what, if you insist I can help you destroy the drive
just upload the ROM here and will arrenge the correct FW

Although I'm not an expert in what data recovery and hard drive repair is concerned, but I still have enough experience in hardware and network technology so hobby and profession that I know that you do not play around hardware.
And that you can not simply flash the firmware on a hard drive I know, but since the error is probably at the ROM I do not know what else I can do.
And I was just looking for a software with which I can read out the faulty Rom and I just came across the software sediv thats all.
At the drive itself, I do not play around to stop it getting worse.
I'm just looking for opportunities and help to get to the data once I have the data is the hard drive in the garbage.

nice joke, but serious answers I prefer.
But tell me a software with which I can read out the Rom.

I still think that your original ROM is fine, your drive has a weak head and some firmware trouble, not ROM or PCB related.
Its like to change change wheels on a car where the engine is missing and then expect the car to drive, sorry :(
Send me both your PCBs and i will check, read and write ROM, you pay for shipping.

The demo version of WDMarvel can read the ROM, as can HDDSuperTool (see the scripts).

My ROM parsing tool can check your ROM dump for consistency:

HDDSuperTool and WDMarvel can execute the "slow fix", depending on the circumstances.

If the drive is connected and recognized, you can be happy, but not more. The tool WDMarvel does not start with the connected drive but without the drive already.
So I'll gratefully accept the offer from digisupport before it gets any worse.
Just have to tell me how we do with the shipping (payment).
And maybe you know if customs fees will be charged.
