WD10EADS matching PCB donor (PCB compatybility) external ROM

April 20th, 2013, 7:18

Hello,

I need to swap PCB
MDL: 10WDEADS-11M2B2
PCB: 2060-701640-007 REV A
PCB STICKER: 2061-701640-407 01PD3
MCU 1 line: 88I9045-TFJ2
MCU 2 line: P1K8110.5

I found donor
MDL: WD10EADS-11M2B2
PCB: 2060-701640-007 REV A
PCB STICKER: 2061-701640-407 01PD1
MCU 1 line: 88I9045-TFJ2
MCU 2 line: P1K1150A.3

Differences:
- memory
- second line in MCU
- some symbols on SMOOTH

The donor will match?

Yes, this donor will work. You need to transfer the ROM chip.

Thanks for information, I know about ROM that's why I am asking for PCB compatibility to not moving it pointlessly.

True it's compatible, but my diagnose was wrong :oops: PCB is OK.
Drive still want to initialize, symptoms are:
spin -> 4 times clicking -> 2-3sec wait -> 1 click -> spin down
Bad pre/amp or heads?

Yes, bad heads (or preamp possibly but it amounts the the same thing)

You need a new head assembly and cleanroom work to change this.

End of the road for DIY :-(
