How to isolate one head of WD2000JB-00DAA3

July 21st, 2006, 4:11

Hi guys,

I've got a WD2000JB-00DAA3 drive with a problem . One of his six heads doesn't work well and I want to isolate it. It was relatively easy task for the previous models having paralel FLASH, but this one comes with a serial FLASH... Anyone can tell me how to read/write such a FLASH chip?

Sure, but I cannot afford it.
Maybe somebody has tried IDEGrabber on such a drive and pass a hint to me...
By the way, the correct model is WD2000JB-00DUA3
