WD caviar Eagle not dislapyng Serial & Capacity

December 3rd, 2011, 12:29

Got this Caviar WD2000BB-00GUA0 with dead pcb.

I Replace his PCB but not the rom, donor has same family.

But i got:
Model: WDC WD2000
Serial (empty)
Firmware ok, displayed
Capacity: MB()

so i went into Hotswap with translator, but can't read any sectors neither.

With the pcb of the donor i am only able to read all modules, and they are fine.. :shock:
