Fujitsu MHV2120BH PL recovery

May 1st, 2009, 20:14

Got a Fujitsu from a macbook in; Found a donor 100% match

Model: MHV2120BH PL
Part no: CA06672-B55600AP
date:2006-11

Apple code: 655-1307B


Transplant heads; was sure to be EXTRA careful as I have been told these drives headstacks are extra touchy with even slight bends, etc.

Before: Drive would just click and stay BSY


After: Drive will click ~4 times; attempt to calibrate and then reach DRSC DRDY, but no ID.


?? Firmware ??

Still have not found any solution to this; anyone have any input?

Have you got any tool to access the SA ? And why you had to perform a head swap - what was the drive history ?

I have an Insight which can access SA

This drive came in; clicks and stays BSY



after swap,


Attempts to calibrate, clicks, and then gives DRSC DRDY, but no ID

attempts to access the SA do not work.

Was hoping someone had seen this before

Like you said, heads are fragile.

Put the heads back into the donor and see if they work. If they don't:

1. They were damaged in process, or;

2. The Fuji has media damage which killed the new heads
