WD15EADS-00P8B0 ROM NEEDED

January 28th, 2013, 12:14

I have a WD15EADS-00P8B0 that the external ROM is corrupted. I read it from the PCB in PC3K and the last sectors (the footer) is writed to FF. I try to read it via EPROM but the result was the same. So my question is does any one have a FW from this model that the ROM version is 0070003N. Thanks for the help.

In the begining the drive have a burned díode, i remove it and the PCB is working now. The drive spins, try to calibrate the heads but doenst became ready, stay in busy. In this moment with the tip of tawfeek_mokhtar i dissmiss the ROM has a problem. I compare with another from the same family "DragFly3" and the footer is normal with FF. So i make a Hotswap and i realise the true problem, the drive have some modules damaged in the copy 0. Now im gona star working on that. :)

Thanks for the help. :D
