Hi,

I have drive as in topic with burnt PCB 2060-001209-004. Which PCB with 2MB cache can be 100% compatible replacement for this drive?

Thanks in advance

Uh, another 2060-001209-004 !?!

As far as I know this has a 8MB cache.

You'll have to move the U12 ROM chip from the original PCB to the donor PCB.

1209 it is original PCB for 00FMA0 Family.

Before replacing, check preamp for short-circuit.

Yes, I know that this is 8MB cache that's why I asked if somebody know 2MB compatible one for this model. I don't have donor version of 8MB actually.

As far as I know WD has always proper compatible 2MB-8MB cache PCB but I don't know which one in this case.

Nobody really know this? I'm sure some known gurus on this forum know :)
