Hello all i have a samsung hd161hj with the date code 2008.06. The drive clicks when powered and if the pcb is swapped the donor clicks the same. However i do not have a compatible board to put on my clients drive. Is there any way to force and older pcb to be compatible as the pcb has no rom chip.

Thank you all

The solutions are not PCB Exchange u should be identify on first the problem, why knocks, check terminal before did anything, like "exchange" check ATA registers, etc, before u identify the problem MHA , SA, u need to plain u "route action"

Is there a way i can copy the rom from the patient pcb to a donor to make it compatible

I can fix it 100%. Pm me if you want to send it in.
