WANTED Western Digital WD2500KS-00MJB0 HDD PCB
WD2500KS-00MJB0
DCM: DSCHCT2AH

Hi everyone. New poster on this site.

I need to above noted PCB to recover some data that should have been on the mirrior drive, but the biz partner did not listen. The drive loads using the PCB from another the same model drive, but the DCM did not match. So the computer did not report the correct size. Should I even bother looking for the righ pcb? Should just try to swap the bios chips? From the looks of it, that is the only dif between the two.

Thanks.

hello,
please check PM. thanks.

You can try changing the ROM chip .

More data off the drive, if needed:
WD2500KS-00MJB0
DCM: DSCHCT2AH
Date: 28 JAN 2006
PCB label#: 2061-701335-C00 AE
PCP Etched #: 2060-701335-005 REV A
PCB Barcode #: XC2W080DT470002300

FYI the other board I tried had the same PCP Etched #, but not the same PCB label#. It did not work correctly. System reported the 250g drive as a 7 g drive and the drive was not accessible. Per some other techs I have talked to, I need a matching dcm # to get it to work.

Thanks networkpc3000 and rameez. Based on the info I got from here, is fixed the issue. Confirmed the replacement board I had was the same but the bios chip was different. Took the bios chip off the dead board, put on the working board and was able get the drive working.
Copied improtant data to the mirrored array and will just use this in a workstation.
