Toshiba MK6465gsxn 2.5" drive

September 4th, 2012, 15:42

I had a drive with electronics failing per atola device. I acquired a donor. I tested the donor and it passed diags. I transferred the ic602 chip to the replacement board via air solder station. When I fired up the transferred board, the drive no longer spins. I moved the ic602 chip back to the original board and get the same results. Is there fuse on this board? any advice would be apprecialted! :?

Do you mean you moved the donor's IC602 back to the donor's board and no longer spinning the donor drive?

Did anything happen with the ROM? Any of the contacts (legs) broke?

First of all you should use terminal to decide whether PCB is good or bad and whether Flash is OK.
