WD1600JS-00MHB0 Hawk FW 02.6EC ROM Needed

[lcoughey]

As per the title, I'm looking for a ROM from a WD Hawk

ROM Version: 02.6EC
Overlay F/W Version: 02.6EC
Servo F/W Version: 01.7J

Is your patient's ROM bad? AFAICT, the ROM consists of 9 code segments plus 4 adaptive sections. Each component is checksummed. Sometimes two ROM versions will share some common segments, in which case it may be possible to use a foreign ROM to repair your patient. I could at least identify the corrupt segment, if that is your problem.

All the segments and adaptive sections have the correct checksums in both ROM dumps.

The one thing I notice is that there is a difference in that byte which I believe to be the PUIS flag.

I have carved out adaptive module 0x0D from both ROMs.

Code:

Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

00000000  0B 1D 05 0E 0D 30 32 41 37 3F 00 00 00 00 00 00  .....02A7?......

It may be PUIS, but both ROMs spin the drive immediately when powered on. The main difference is that the original ROM clicks and spins down, while the other spins quietly and will give SA access after using a LDR.

I'm confident that it is the original PCB & ROM as the board had to be torn away from the insulating foam and the FW version matches what shows in the saved SA modules.

I am going to set this case aside to play with at another time. Client declined the quote and I have a lot of other cases looking for my attention at the moment.

Thanks for taking a look. Was kind of hoping that you'd find something obvious that I missed.

Perhaps your PCB was one of those that were affected by bad carbon resistors whose value degraded over time, resulting in the supply voltages drifting out of spec.

I should have included the ROM analysis ...
