WD360 Raptor

I have a WD Raptor 360 It looks like the motor controller IC burned up

I have a potential donor drive that I wanted to know if it could be used for a swap. I know the capacity is different but the 2 controller boards appear identical. Any feedback appreciated on this one.

Swap the flash

FYI: This kind of damage often means fried preamp

Doomer thanks for the info which U chip # on this pcb is the flash rom

The serial flash memory IC is the 8-pin chip between the Samsung SDRAM and the shock sensor.

I appreciate the U12 info from those that posted. I got the rom moved to the other board in my first post. The drive came ready and I was able to get data off it via the DDI. Got lucky the preamp seems to have survived the meltdown on this one.
