I'm looking to replace the drive controller, here are the specs:

WD Caviar
MODEL: WD400BB-00JHC0
DATE: 16 JUN 2005
DCM: HSBHYTJAH
CAP: 40GB
S/N: WCAMC2513812
Drive Parameters: LBA 78165360
IDE
Board number on label: 2061-701292-000 AK
Board number on PCB: 2060-701292-000 REV A
Controller Chip: 88i6540-LFH1
Motor Combo Chip: SMOOTH#L6283 1.3

...and who will transfer the internally programmed part of the FW between the 2 pcb?

Janos

do you have a price on the part? bec that can be done at the shop here.

I have this pcb wich is physically compatible, but i don't want to sell it.
If you want parts, ask sunny here.

I just want to tell you, your problem can't be solved with a simple pcb replace, because these PCBs had internally programmed unique parameters wich needs to transfered as well.

Janos

I see, thank you for the help. I will continue to do some research on my problem.

hi,
i have this PCB in stock. please are you sure it's PCB problem?? does it spin up or coming any strange noise? if you would like to contact me by email or MSN i can get more detail.

These PCB has external ROM IC (8 legs - U12 ), so I think it will be an easy job for a junior technician to transfer the original ROM from the patient PCB to the donor PCB.

Good luck

I have no this pcb at my hands, but i think this pcb should have parallel ROM/EEPROM instead.

I don't know if this is the correct PCB, but it has the same Marvell MCU:

There is a serial EEPROM at U12.

You may be thinking of this PCB:

Yes it is the correct PCB Mr.Franc
