Buy a complete working donor HDD, flash the patient's ROM to it, then transfer the donor's PCB to the patient HDD. That should cost much less than US$100.

With PC3000 you can write ROM using COM port.

I know, but... its to do it manually, also needs to be done using boot code mode, cause PCB is bricked.

Can you post the PCB number ? Both the sticker and the number engraved on the PCB ?

I will check if i do have a PCB for you and i will copy the ROM for you (assuming you do have original ROM file).

PCB from me is $5 USD + $10 USD shippiing costs (you can check my eBay store) as long as i do have the PCB that you need (i do have many WD PCBs).

:D

Heya Spildit

Haven’t been able to sit and do it actually, still need to try and unbrick the PCB.

Thanks.

You didn't buy the one that i'm selling so i guess that (once again) you either did get away with a free fix or you were not able to recover the drive ?
