Hi HDD experts!

Does any one know how to see in PC3000 only with the PCB of WD1600BEVT-60ZCT1 the information off the HDD that match?
To see if the PCB was changed? Like model, Serial number from HDD that belongs?
The heads are damaged and i suspect that the PCB with ROM belongs to another HDD.
I know that in Seagate we acess T> and Crtl+L and we have the information off HDD that the PCB belongs.

If any one knows i was apreciated.

Thanks in advance.

WD does not has feature, but you can confirm if family is correct.

Compare the date codes on the chips against the date code on the label (or elsewhere).

If you need help identifying the date codes, upload a clear view of the chip markings.

Call WD's tech support and ask for Tier 2 support.

They can tell you if a particular PCB is the one that originally came with the drive.

Thanks for your help.

fzabkar the data code of the PCB is WDC C 2004?
In the drive the date is 15 OCT 2005.
That means that the PCB doesn't match.

I'm i correct?

i doesn't know that was possible jono-ats, thanks for the tip.

Examine the chips on the PCB. They will have a YWW or YYWW (Year / Week) date code marking. For example, a code of 0543 indicates that the IC was manufactured in week 43 of 2005.

I believe there may also be a WWYY date code marked on the PCB in white.

If you need help, upload a detailed photo or scan of the component side of the PCB.
