I have a WD3200JD - 22KLB0 in for recovery, which refuses to spin-up. The motor cols have the right resistance, and the platters are spinning freely (tried by rotating the complete disk, you can hear the whistling sound the ball-bearing probably is making). This leads me to believe that the PCB is dead.
The PCB number is 2060-701336-003 REV A. This is an PCB with a 88i6540-LFH1 controller, with an IDE interface, and a 88i8030-TBC1 IDE to SATA bridge chip. The SMOOTH chip is an L6283 1.3 and the RAM chip is an HY57V641620ETP-6.
We don't have an identical PCB in stock, but we do have an WD3200JB - 00KFA0 PCB in stock, number 2060-701314-003 REV A. This PCB has the same controller and SMOOTH chip, and a different RAM chip (K4S641632H-UC60), but with the same capacity as the patient. Also, this PCB doesn't have an IDE to SATA bridge chip.
Does anybody know if it will work if I switch the EEPROM (U12) to the donor board, or if it is worth trying? Or should I just start looking for a identical twin of my patient PCB?
For reference, I have included scans of both the patients PCB, and the possible donors PCB.
