Got this Caviar WD2000BB-00GUA0 with dead pcb.

I Replace his PCB but not the rom, donor has same family.

But i got:
Model: WDC WD2000
Serial (empty)
Firmware ok, displayed

so i went into Hotswap with translator, but can't read any sectors neither.

With the pcb of the donor i am only able to read all modules, and they are fine..
