Hi!

I am looking for a controller-board for a Fujiutsu MJA2500BH disk (Fujiutsu / SATA / 2,5" / 500GB / fabrication 12/2009).

Black printed Letters on the controller-board "214EE CA21350-B12X" and on the left side the letters (etched into the board) "MDK 339V-0 N".

I bought a disk with fabrication date 06/2009 with the label "211EE CA21350-B12X" (in difference to 214EE, which I need). Didn't work out, only clicking noises, seems not to find track zero.

With the old faulty controller ist spins up right, but no access possible.

Is anybody able to help?

Thanks a lot!

Doesn't work like that,

You need to get a real diagnosis

What do you suggest me to do / check / read?

Windows Eventlog shows Controller Errors, and all symptoms seem to me to be caused by a bad controllerboard...

Thanks for further hints !

You can use something like MHDD to check it outside of windows. Windows is not a good environment to work with a bad disk.

Hey drc, networkpc300 and nande - thanks a lot for your hints.

Wherefor do I need the "exact match of firmware" which nande mentions?

Because I think this topic is now changing from hardwaresearch to a recovery-discussion, I opened a new topic in the sub-forum "Hard Disk Drives: data recovery and repair". You can find it here:

--> recover-mja2500bh-sata-500gb-with-encrypted-partition-t16577.html

I would be very thankful if you read it, I tried hard to describe every detail...

THANKS A LOT !!!
