Any new informations, or methods, for WD internal ROM pcb like 701499, 701640, 701537?
Because i have a few PCb in bad internal rom, and sediv and wd marvel are not support repair BAD internal ROM, previous methods are not helpful, because drives are not locate in external rom, or not propertly initialize. Understand me?

This is too old my dear, here is a sample solution:

701499

Solder ROM chip on its place (prefer if you Program it with Programmer with its Match ROM i.e. Write Denali Family ROM)
Remove Both R13 & R6


701640

Solder ROM chip on its place, same steps as 701499
ADD 22k resister to R74

Connect and your done

hope this helps

Good luck :wink: and all the best
