Hello to all hddguru.

A question its possible to read Microcode from a Toshiba PCB directly without HDA ? And write on a donnor PCB ? using terminal commands for example.

Because toshiba dont allow PCB swap´s


Thanks

Sinceraly

Don't think so.

You have to transfer the microprocessor (the "ARM" chip) to the donor PCB.

As pcimage suggested, you need to swap the ARM processor chip as it contains adaptives for this drive. It's a very very difficult chip swap (80pins) and you really need an infrared soldering tool. Probably a 50/50 chance of it working.

Not much point in doing as Spildit suggests as you will still need to de-solder and re-solder the chip anyway.

Hello spildit wich class of universal eeprom programmer do u suggest me for do this work?

Thanks
