HDD GURU FORUMS

Hello,
I have hd Seagate Laptop Thin 500GB with dead PCB. And i have donor pcb with similiar series (seagate laptop thin 500GB), but the firmware series is different. The broken hd firmware is HPM2 and the hd donor is HPM6. Could i exchange the ROM to get the data back? Is it compatible?
Thank you

you didnt mentioned the model of the drive. if the drive is not SED then you can do it , sure.

the firmware is on the platter , not in the rom.

Thank you for the answer
The model is same ST500LM000. But the firmware series is a bit different HPM2 and HPM6. Is it compatible?

Since you already have the board, just swap ROM and test.
