WD10EADS-00L5B1 BSY

[fayn]

Hi guys (girls, too? ),

I have a WD10EADS-00L5B1 which does recal, but just stays BSY. After hot swap I was able to read the modules, but I cannot find the source of the problem. Attaching full SA tracks -- can you see any problem in there?

Thanks!

i guess that your having Heads problems here
chk heads 1st.

If you try to read SA without hotswap, can you read anything?
Is mod 11 readable?

[fayn]

Without hot swap just BSY i.e. cannot read anything

What happens when you replace the PCB with a reprogrammed ROM?

[dmarques]

And beside SA tracks, can you read modules by ID after hotswap?

[fayn]

Only very few: 01, 30 and 47

I believe one of the modules is damaged, but I cannot find out which one

Ok, since I have not had success with this one I would like to kindly ask if anyone could fix this ROM / SA issue for some bucks. It makes no sense for me to buy the PC3K etc.

Thanks and a Happy New Year!


P.S. To summarize the problem briefly: I have a WD10EADS-00L5B1 drive which just stays BSY after power on. After a hot swap, I can read the SA by tracks, but not by modules.
