Hi,

My friend has WD6400AAKS and he needs to change his pcb.
His pcb no. is 2060-701537-003 Rev A with CPU no. is 88i8845C.
Is it compatible if changed the pcb with the same number as above but different
CPU no. (just the last letter is different - 88i8845D)?

Thanks...

PCB number is most important in my experience. You will probably need to transfer ROM contents which is difficult without special tools on newer WD drives that lack a physical EEPROM IC.

What are the symptoms of your friend's drive?

Probably, have you checked google and ebay? How about the buy/sell section of the forums here?

If data worth less then a new drive, forget about it.
