Ressources for WD Sequoia family WD1600AVBB-63SYA0

June 28th, 2026, 14:40

Hi,
I'm searching for resources (ROM and loader) for WD Sequoia family drive.
WD1600AVBB-63SYA0 is the exact model-name.
My case have a burned PCB (CPU and spindle-motor-chip) and no external ROM. So I can't get it from original PCB.
This model seems to be very rare... I can't find a compatible ROM to get SA-access via loader to read the ROM-copy from SA.
Maybe somebody have resources for this drive?

Many thanks and greetz from Poland, Karol

Did the original preamp survive? Usually when the motor controller and MCU are damaged, this suggests that there was an overvoltage on the 5V input, which in turn puts the preamp at risk.

First, I need the right ROM.

I would contact @michaelchiklis and ask him if he still has the ROM from the following job:
