I'm looking for complete resources for this drive:

Family: Diablo3D
Model: WD30EZRX-00DC0B0
Consolidated ROM: 0004005M
Firmware Version: 00040050

Need to replace a number of damaged modules. I can probably get by if the ROM version is different as long as the model and FW version are the same.

Thanks!

Here's the original ROM attached. I still really need this one, closest I can find is 00040050 but I really need the 5M. Seems this drive's SA got really messed up, even the Dir module doesn't have all modules listed (11 and 02 are completely missing from the dir module). Looks almost like it was a firmware upgrade gone terribly wrong, but the customer says it stopped working after a small drop. I don't know what to believe.

Please does anyone have this?

Nevermind, I got it. :D

I tweaked the ROM so it would accept the 00040050 ldr, and amazingly it ID'd and had sector access! Extremely slow sector access, and extremely slow everything else. But, worked well enough to read a few critical modules I couldn't seem to access before. Set it back to normal ROM, used it's own LDR, fixed a few modules, did a slow responding fix. And now it's working like a brand new drive. :D

If anyone needs these resources I'll post them on my FW server.
