(A)Defect HDD : WD5000AAKS-00TMA0
DATE:12 JUN 2007
DCM :HHNCHV2AHB

MADE IN :THAILAND

(B)DONOR HDD: WD5000AAKS-00TMA0
DATE:12 JUN 2007
DCM :HHNCHV2CHB

MOTOR #: 1107-RBHOB
MADE IN :THAILAND

Note :Motor number is different

I swapped the (A)pcb to B hdd the B hdd work this mean the ROM content is ok.
but when I swapped (B)pcb to A hdd I cannot work and little sound.
I used hot swap also not work (hang)
Is this mean head problem ?

First of all, when you power your patient drive (with his own PCB), what happens?
Clicking noise? Spindle doesn't start? Click 3 times and stops spindle? Have you tried to read ROM in kernel mode?

check head map must be identical with donor-target

If you have SD tool you can save a copy of your ROM.bin to file. You have to load not from file on this one but Manual Load. Select Manual load and this will insert a predefined download path to the program. Once this one is done then you can go to the ROM operation menu and save a copy of your ROM.

You are not too clear either on what you are saying on this one. The drive in your case can have three clicks spin up and spin down this can repeat 3 times then go to ready and the drive is not spinning at all.

If you find this problem let us know or what is the drive acutally doing. Just swaping PCB in your case will not work. If you decide to do a hot swap on the PCB you need to save the original ROM from your drive before proceeding on. I just explained to you how to do that one.
