ROM:
ROM reading............................. : Ok
Heads configuration..................... : by map

Disk when power on starts to knock and then power goes off

In this case there is nothing to do with the firmware, but with everything else (pcb, heads, preamp).

darkfroce1,

Where you able to resolve the issue with the WD800JD-75LSA0? I replaced heads 3 times and even if you but the head back on the original donor it would not work... I think it has to do with the screw that is located on the top, it maintains the alignment of the heads, what did you find out on that?

Hi, I don't remember it. its a too old case.
