WD1600JD-75HBB0

The SATA power connector on this drive had the polarity lug missing, so I'm guessing the power was put in the wrong way round.

Oddly enough the PCB actually survived but the ROM didn't. Swapped the ROM chip onto another PCB and the drive would not spin up, put the good ROM chip onto the patient PCB and the drive spun up but no ID (due to wrong ROM version) but could read SA OK.

According to mod 41 the ROM version is 21.0WJ, and none of my ROM's are anywhere near this (all 08.xxx)

Cheers
