Post subject:  WDS480G20B (WD green) does not detect the full volume.
Good afternoon, everyone!

For future reference, is it possible to unlock the WDS480G20B somehow? Only 16k (32 sectors) are visible.

When you try to subtract smart, you immediately get an error.
The passport reads, but the volume is small.
The defines the model as SanDisk Milpitas
Firware - none
Marking of the S902-PMGX73 controller

Any chances?

Sounds like the usual firmware errors, for data recovery IIRC there's no support in PC3000 these have to be done via chip off.

You can solve this case in VNR (Rusolut) via chip-off

hi2* I made a chip-off, but I can't read it through the PC3000 Flash. Can anyone tell me what the error is? or is the BGA-152/132 Adapter not suitable?

Can you recommend a programmer who can help?

I placed it in the center and managed to read the ID, but the data doesn't seem to be available in the chip database(

One person already stated it isn't supported by PC3K and another stated it is by VNR.
