Donor needed WD1200BB-00CAA1 DCM:HSEHCT2CH

August 1st, 2026, 7:13

Hello, 

I am looking for a donor drive for a head swap and hope you can help me find a match. 

PATIENT
Model:        WD1200BB-00CAA1
DCM:          HSEHCT2CH
Serial:         WMA8C3308641
PCB label:    2061-001092-300 J
Date:         11 DEC 2002

The critical identifiers are highlighted 

Model:   WD1200BB-00CAA1

Serial:         WMA8C3308641

For DCM I found two sources - I would try both - or maybe you have other information?

DCM:          HSEHCT2CH
or
DCM:          HSEHCT2CH

Thanks :)

a simple head swap will most likely not work, even with matching dcm.

Can you upload the patient and donor ROMs? In a previous case I transferred the head adaptives from donor to patient, and this enabled the DIY-er to recover "unreadable" sectors. Perhaps it might help in your case.
