HDD GURU FORUMS

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.

hi,
have you check it there has ROM chip on your PCB? have you swap it? this PCB should be work for your drive. post more detail please.

for this PCB. it has no ROM chip. that you had to swap the MCU(largest BGA one) i have 212EE

Or you can find exact match of firmware xxxxxx - xxxxxxxx on label.

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 !!!
