Heads compatibility question Hitachi

[samick]

HTS543216L9SA02 5K320-160 MLC: DA2834 P/N 0A74213 APPLE drive Label on edge: FBE 200

Found a lot of similar drives but no exact match. On all the similar drives, at the top of the label under all the logos have "D33373 HTB-HTS543232L9SA0(B)". Is this number sufficient to match? Is there any leeway on these drives where all the specifics do not have to be matched? Is there significance to the barcode label on the edge of the drive with FBE 200?

Thanks.

I tend to to match the P/N and the MLC. if you can math those then the model number will be correct.

I agree with Cleanroom...by the way is that the Green Lantern symbol?

Same model and top 2 lines out of 4 on the sticker on the PCB. I had a lot of head swap successes with different MLC numbers and huge year differences.
Sticker looks like this for example.

Thanks all,

Unfortunately can't find a donor of exact model (for a reasonable price). CAN however find plenty of HTS543216L9SA*00* Just not HTS543216L9SA*02*. Ordered a A00, we'll see if it will work.

If headmap is the same there's a good chance of it being compatible.

Apparently compatible. After head swap comes ready but won't load from HD--gives error
"Read RAM Map Module Error!"
Then error from the SD software:
"Access violation at address 03E37CFD in module "Flash_dll.dll".

After loading from a donor's res file, reads all F/W mods in A and B except DUMP and DIAG (failed to read a couple others before head swap). 66666's and starts clicking when trying to view sector.
Can read NVRAM, RAM, ROM, NVRAM from SA.

Left the shop for a couple hours and forgot to power down, when I got back drive was squealing then after power cycle just clicks, comes ready, but won't load from donor res file.
