TOSHIBA MQ COMPATIBILITY FOR HEAD SWAP EXPERIENCE

[smecca]

Sorry guys, I was just wandering if someone of you has ever tested successfully, for TOSHIBA MQ DRIVES, head swap from a donor having the match with the only second part of rev before "/".
Just an example:
patient : xxx yyyy/
donor: xxj yyyy/

Of course with model and manifacturing country both perfectly matching.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

It's hard to find a donor that doesn't work in MQ.

It's hard to find a donor that doesn't work in MQ.

DONOR D.REV: AAE AA11/
PATIENT D.REV: AAE AA00/

It didn't work. And replacing donor heads back in donor drive it worked again perfectly.

Guess you were "lucky".

Yeah! very lucky!
Anyway, after testing 4 headsets, i finally got a perfectly matching donor and drive started like a charm.
100% data recovered, and an happy customer for my work.
