HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi to all,

Have this disk that dont spin, so i found a match and change PCB but did not give the disk ID, but will get DRD DSC.

So i resolde the ROM from patient to donor.

Now the donor PCB dont spin with the ROM from patient, and also the patient PCB with the ROM from donor also dont spin.

It looks like the ROM has been bad resolder so i check it and it looks OK.

So i found other PCB change it and the disk SPIN but the ID is not correct.

What can be happening here ?

Thanks
ZeBong

ROM could be corrupted.

This family dont have option to rebuild the ROM from SA ?

Can anyone tell-me the defaul off the headmaps for this drive
Wich heads are working ?

Heads configuration..................... : Default


Thanks

Your head count is 1.

Provide a full model number.

With one head it should be easy to change.

Probably your head is bad and it should not be difficult to change.

Hi,
The full model is : WD200BB-00AUA1 01 DEC 2000

PCB:
Patient :0000 001003-001 A
Donor : 0000 001003-000 C


When i enter with the donor disk i have this: ( head map) one head in use, but dont know wich is.



The patient disk with the donor pcb i have this:




Thanks

All you need to do is download the correct ROM to the donor PCB. Or find a PCB from a drive of the same model number WD200BB-xxAUA1. Your donor PCB is not compatible as it stands.

Thanks Sean,

Will try that tomorow morning.

Hi,

Test all the ROm but did not get the correct size.

The version off the ROM are different





Mikippp, your ROM give-me this

Writing ROM from file................... : <HDD Profile>\Data\ROM\WDC.18.11--ROM_1809D_25_2022_WD200BB-60AUA1.bin

ROM writing error (ROM data checking)


Also i have other ROM in the database with the same error, but it looks like a close match off my disk.

Writing ROM from database............... : /Caviar Cyl 16 bit/WDC WD200BB-00AUA1 18.20D18 WD-WMA6Y1883452/ROM

Any hint here?

In this family i have seen some times OTP PROM chip for the rom image.
