Looking for Western Digital WD2500KS-00MJB0 PCB Board
January 6th, 2011, 20:48
Hey Everyone,
My Western Digital HDD PCB Board fried from a power surge. The SMOOTH chip is burnt out.
From the searching I've done, and the reading I've done of the message boards around here lead me to believe that I might be able to revive this drive if I swap out my pcb board. Here are the relevant details of my HDD and matching PCB board.
MDL: WD2500KS-00MJB0
Date: 28 Jul 2007
DCM: DSBHNTJAHN
PCB Code 2061-701335-C00 AP XC 2W23 1W52 8 0003520 7523
If anyone has this board, I would love to purchase one
If you think this would not work for some reason, I'd also like to know.

If it was only the PCB that was damaged (not the heads or anything else) then a PCB swap could work, but you'll need to swap over the adaptive info too. This is either stored at U12 on the PCB, an 8-pin EEPROM chip, or if the board doesn't have one then on the big 'M' chip. The first instance is easy to swap over, the second not so much...
