I am also looking for a WD1200JB-00FUA0 replacement.

Details as follows:

Drive parameters
----------------
LBA 234441648 (234.441.648)

MDL
___
WD1200JB - 00FUA0

DATE
----
24 NOV 2003

DCM
---
HSBACTJAA

PCB number (IDE connector white sticker)
----------------------------------------
2061-001179-090 CE

PCB number (etched on PCB itself)
---------------------------------
2060-001179-003 REV A

Big Chip (CPU)
--------------
WD70C22 GP
00-00 ST 1.3

Motor Controller Chip
---------------------

ST

I have removed the FW (U12) chip. I'm looking for a replacement HD with similar *PCB white sticker number* and *DCM #*
Or, as alternative, for a PCB with similar *PCB white sticker number*, *CPU* and *Motor Controller Chip*.

If I suceed on recover my data, I will drop you a line.

Cheers

Give me 1 day pls...

I'm not in a hurry. Take your time. However, I want to have the least work as possible.

So I'm looking for a HD (desirable), one that I can swap PCB without the need of swapping ROM.

I'm prepared to swap ROM, but I would prefer not having the hassle to do so.

Finding a WD1200JB-****A0 would do the trick, some say. However that is not true, since I have also a WD1200JB-75CRA0 that is not compatible with the WD1200JB-00FUA0 (the fixing holes are placed on different positions, different IC chips, also)

So it appears to me that I need to find a WD1200JB-****A0 AND a matching 15 digit IDE white bar code label PCB. However this is not true, since there are PCB that have different CPU (WD0C22 ST1.3 or WD0C22 ST 2.0). I'm not sure if I can upgrade the CPU version, but one thing is true for me: one should match the Motor Controller Chip (L6282 3.2E).

On another post that I read, Erin Lee says that it would suffice to "match the PCB# etched along side the PCB (http://www.deadharddrive.com/forums/vie ... php?t=6140).

I have found some parts whose sellers claim that are compatible with my PCB, but the component layout is sligtly different (it misses K2 component). I much appreciate a photo of the actual PCB (IC's side).

I have received the following PM:



I was suspicious about someone asking to make him a payment, without publicizing the deal, so I asked the user to open a "For Sale" subforum topic:



The user responded to me this:



I responded



One get suspicious about someone asking him/her money without publicizing the deal. It is normal to complete deals on eBay, or on "For Sale" forums. So why is someone asking money, but not interested on publicizing the deal?

I understand the "lack of time" excuse. But when someone is offering help, well...it's offering their time to help. So please, implement a Feedback forum, so users can feedback other users buy/sell. Each user should have a Feedback thread, so other users can track down their feedback. Just a proposal.

Do you need the ROM.BIN file or are you looking for the PCB with that spec?

I appreciate your reply, sincerely,

Actually I'm looking for hardware (HDD). I do prefer a compatible HDD rather than a PCB that I have no garantees of success.

But, if somebody here wants to shed some light on compatible PCB's...?

HDD-wise
---------

1 - Some say match first 15 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-090 CE) and PCB etched code (2060-001179-003 REV A) and then you MAY need to swap ROM(U12)chip.

___
2 - Others say match WD1200JB-****A0 and first 15 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-090 CE) and then you MAY need to swap ROM(U12)chip.

___
3 - Others say match WD1200JB-****A0 and all PCB etched code (2060-001179-003 REV A) and then you MAY need to swap ROM(U12)chip.

___
4.1 - Others say match WD1200JB-00FUA0 and all DCM# (HSBACTJAA) and first 10 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-*** **) and then you MAY need to swap ROM(U12)chip.

4.2 - Others say match WD1200JB-00FUA0 and last 3 digits of DCM# (******JAA) and first 10 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-*** **) and then you MAY need to swap ROM(U12)chip.

___
5.1 - Others say DCM# don't matter at all if you match first 15 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-090 CE) and then you MUST[/b] swap ROM(U12)chip.

5.2 - Others say DCM# don't matter at all if you match first 10 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-*** **) andexact match CPU (WD70C22 ST1.3) and exact match MotorControllerChip (L6282 3.2E) and then you MUST swap ROM(U12)chip.

PCBs-wise
---------

6.1 - Some say that once you match first 15 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-090 CE) [and exact match CPU (WD70C22 ST1.3) and exact match MotorControllerChip (L6282 3.2E) and then you MAY need to swap ROM(U12)chip.

6.2 - Others say that once you match first 10 digits IDE label code (2061-001179-*** **) and exact match CPU (WD70C22 ST1.3) and exact match MotorControllerChip (L6282 3.2E) and then you MAY need to swap ROM(U12)chip.
