Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

It's rather peculiar case to me...
MODEL SP2004C. NO SPIN.
Swapped with SAME PCB NO (BF41-xxx), DONOR HDD WAS SP2504C, but same pcb no and revision. It doesn't have any ROM Chip.
Well, now the drive spins but detected as 250GB, as SP2504C (the drive is 200GB and Model: SP2004C)
Load from HDD is fine... Comes to READY.
FW Diagnosis 4 bad modules...
MOVLY001
BOVLY001

What to do next?

Learn how Samsung work.
You have the answer if you revise
exactly what you have done
step by step.
P.S. modules
were most probably fine, it's just the way you worked that is not

Sounds like the heads map is different, for one.

These drives have ROM in MCU if possible try reading ROM from old pcb or find ROM compatible with your hdd .

If you wish to repair your board, and assuming it's feasible, then upload a detailed photo of the component side.

Measure the voltages at the two TVS diodes and zero-ohm resistors near the SATA power connector.
If they are OK, then measure the voltages on the pins of the transistor at the top left corner of the MCU.
Measure the voltages on the pins of the transistor between the motor terminals and the motor controller.
Measure the voltages at each of the three (?) coils near the motor controller. Why did you clip this part of the photo, BTW?
