I swapped a PCB today from an electronics shop and it works, both the old PCB and the new one have the same on board model number (2060 701590 000). but the new one (well not that new actually) has it's sticker removed so I can't confirm any further code similarity. When I checked I found that the buffer, or the cache on the new one 8 MB but the old (original) one was 16 MB. Can that cause any damage to the had drive on the long term to the other hard drive parts?
And is there any way other than the drive starts to confirm that the new PCB is a good match and won't cause any future trouble because it's a little different?

memory cache don't make any sense for the drive detecting . it may affect on data transfer only . the problem here may be some thing else moreover than the PCB
do you have tools to rewrite ROM to the new PCB or what?
