WD Scorpio Black 750GB - PCB swap problem

[piramix]

Hi,

I have a WD7500BPKT - 75PK4T0 with failed PCB - 2060-771629-006 Rev A (A is Underscore) ... I've purchased new PCB 2060-771629-006 REV P1 and made BIOS swap U12 from the broken board after that drive now spins but data is still not accessible in Linux the SMART has no data etc. the CPU i think is the same 88i9146-TFJ2 (on REV P1 it's 88i9146-TFJ2 P4F7570.2 1049 B2P TW and on REV A it's 88i9146-TFJ2 KFROT.2 1219 B2C CN).

Do you have some advice for me - should I look for REV A PCB or look for some software to fix firmware ?

Thanks,
Marek

Check drive with MHDD

Probably bad read/write heads.

The drive spins up and continue to spin?

do you feel any vibration when heads goes to platter?

You will need REV A
