WD1600JB fried

January 19th, 2007, 9:11

A new issue :

WD1600JB

The user managed somehow to plug the power upside down :shock:
So this mean 12 v in the place of 5 v. Am I right?
The result is in the picture
Basicaly I know what I have to do but unfortunately I dont have a good board for this serries. I know this a common serries but ...I dont have...
I have only a board from WD2500JD.
Do you think that is possible to swap the boards and the firmware chip?
Did someone succeded to swap a ATA board with SATA for WD?
I know that this works for some Maxtor.

1st...check that both boards have the same code:
2060-001265-003

2nd...you must swap U12 - serial prom chip !!!!!
without this step no chances that hdd will start to work....

Ok. I found identical board, resolder ROM , but I think something is wrong with preamp or heads becouse the drive is still clicking. I give up with this one. Thank you everyone!
