Hi, I'm looking for a hard drive (or just PCB) with these exact specs. I know it's a long shot, but worth a try:

Western Digital WD2500KS (Caviar SE16)

Model WD2500KS-00MJB0

DCM: DSCANTJAA (important, so I can use the U12 chip and not have to transplant it -- we just tried that here and we think the electrician burned the chip because now it won't spin up at all)

LBA 488397168

Please let me know if you have this or know where I can buy it. I've come close on google, but no matches yet for the same model + DCM. I've gotten close; found one with DCM # DSCANT2AA, but not DSCANTJAA.

Thanks!

Have you tried Eric Lee......?

The DCM probably won't help you to be honest.

You may get lucky, but ideally you need pro assistance.

I wish you all the best of luck.
