ST500LM000 PCB Dead

What if you initialise the donor's NAND after the patient's ROM is installed? Will the NAND be reinitialised with the patient's adaptives? Hopefully you won't have two dead drives.

I dont undertand how to do

I have measured voltages.
Recognised something different than donor. Added pic

I dont undertand how to do

Code:

F3 T>/O

F3 O>I

If the PCB then works on the patient, perhaps it would be prudent to initialise the NAND again on the patient HDA???

I have made it also. >O I giving error on terminal if try this command with nonworking drive.
Also tried when drive working with foreign ROM. I dont remember well what was the log. But could be normal log as I remember

Does that mean that all the donor's adaptives (CAP, RAP, SAP) are backed up in NAND? Does it also mean that a bad ROM can simply be substituted by any donor ROM?

Tried same version 3 another different Rom.
All of them working. Accessing to drive and data.
Strange discovery.
But I cannot accessed customers data yet.

I would not call it a backup, it is the primary working copy there...

WOW.
I have tried so many things. Bricked live PCB at may last attemp. PCB gone endless busy.
After than I could adapt donor PCB to patient. Case solved. Thanks for assits.

So you're not going to tell us the solution?

Patched ROM (Kahuna PCW Patch 1 ) with MRT.
After then followed 0>I prossedure

[HddDonorMarket]

I would try to lost ROM case for this model.
I think I could solve it now
