issues wth WD10EACS Kermit

[crecomp]

Hi all
i am having an issue with the above drive.

Drie initially would not spin up correctly, it would start spinning, stop, do this about 3 times and then stop spinning all together.

I swapped board with a donor drive, drive now spins and becomes ready and remains spinning correctly.

however drive will not id, and shows oMb

tried hot swap method and same thing happens.

i have included a ful report of the drive and am wondering if anyone can share their thoughts on this drive.

the patient drive is a model no WD10EACS - 00D6B1 25 novemebr 2008
i have used a donor board from WD10EACS-00D6B0 25 september 2008

for soe reason these 2 drives have different board on them

i have done a heads test and this all seems to be ok as you will see in the report.

if a head swap is required will these 2 drives be compataible. manufacture date is 2 months apart.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the B1 and B0 revision

attached is the log

thank you

The drive has not initialised. Check the head map.

Hi Crecomp,

did you solve the problem of your HDD?
I have the same problem with the same HDD family (WD10EACS-00L5B1).
please let me know if you have any advice to deal with the problem.

Thank you
