I am looking for the PCB for a WD5000AAKS-40YGA1

hi,
i have it in stock. can you handle firmware transfer by self?

What is the price?
The firmware transfer? If it involves swapping the 8 pin ROM chip then I'd rather not do that...

If you have the tools you can move the adaptive data to the new PCB. Otherwise your other choice is to move your ROM. Last choice is to have someone else do it for you.

BTW what is the problem that you are looking for a new PCB board for this drive?
