Need to know the compatibility of pcb

[ariann]

Hi,

My friend has WD6400AAKS and he needs to change his pcb.
His pcb no. is 2060-701537-003 Rev A with CPU no. is 88i8845C.
Is it compatible if changed the pcb with the same number as above but different
CPU no. (just the last letter is different - 88i8845D)?

Thanks...

PCB number is most important in my experience. You will probably need to transfer ROM contents which is difficult without special tools on newer WD drives that lack a physical EEPROM IC.

What are the symptoms of your friend's drive?

he just said that pcb was burned..over volt..
but if just to take out the data, is that possible to buy that pcb?

Probably, have you checked google and ebay? How about the buy/sell section of the forums here?

If data worth less then a new drive, forget about it.
