Hello everybody, today have a intresting issue with my WD5000AVDS-63U7B0(native PCB 2060-701640-001 internal ROM). So pcb I borrowed from the disk wd10evds-63u8b0 (pcb: 2060-701640-001 rev A) dragfly2 (both were identical) that I think borrow. So I have uploaded Rom native did it go ok, then I loaded the loader and started to upload the original modules. Went ok. I click restart ..... And hear the sequence 5 clicks then second off 5 seconds of silence clicks 5 clicks and the motor stops. I conclude that the head is not in SA. Moreover, I ruled out Bad in SA, because the scan SA Area is not found any Bad sectors, further blocking loading FW, makes it sees MOD 01 and a list of modules and module check did not show any irregularities. I was thinking almost the same situation as with wd Black. You had maybe a similar situation to mine? Any suggestion?
I Used Full WD Marvell 9C, Sediv at this time not work(licence bye bye).
Standard, Head test in SA suggest all head good.

Because native PCB have bad internal ROM. Patient PCB is full compatibile with AVDS. Native PCB is bad, because internal ROM is dead. Native PCB is Dead(internal ROM is BAD) Situation takes place on the PCB borrowed Yes, I have full backup ROM, modules NO, any calibrators, Self tests, and ARCO. Only Write Oryginal SA modules, and ROM. 5x write Native PCB is dead, patient PCB from WD10EVDS-63U8B0, when fully work perfect. I try, but your method nothing changem because problem is the same. seqence 5 clicks, and motor spin down. Yeah, yeah I know you're jealous of this

AVDS is Drag Fly 1 Family, EVDS is Drag Fly 2 Family. And
Native and patient PCB are the same 2060-701640-001 REV A
AVDS stricker 2061-701640-700 AD
EVDS stricker 2061-701640-300 AAD1
both drives are Green AV-GP.Drive have BAD internal ROM a long time, so I decided to check or even works at all, so I borrow PCB from to EVDS to AVDS.
So, if heads are bad, preamp, how You explain the fact that the scan area SA, test heads, confirmed the efficiency of the surface, heads? Check module shows all the modules OK? Similar problem with my WD Black WD2002FAEX
Yeah I know, such a policy Sediv.


Did you kill ROM using firmware tools ? If yes then problem is most likely pcb/rom. Yes, Native PCB kill SHIT WDR 3.2, 3 years ago.

Yup, provided that Block Loading FW, click check all mods, and WD marvel Check all good in both copies of modules. well, Adaptives? may be.
MOD 30 and 35 are clear, and not SA defect list, head test suggest Head 0 and Head 1 OK, read/write, and Scan SA Surface.
SA copy, and ROM is oryginal from WD5000AVDS-63U7B0
Microcode version: 09000070, OVL 11: 00900071.
I checked mods and all mods OK, contains OK, CRC and header OK, provided that block loading FW, Yes, no problem, I can take pictures, work with this disk. if only I the PC with this disk.

How I perform a self test, if not detect the drive?
No, Because Drive can't read SA.

What this is strange?

_________________
Hello everyone, sorry for my poor english, because i using google translator.

Because, Drive read modules when Block loading Firmware. When restart FW to normal state then begins seqence 5 clicks, pause 5 clicks pause 5 clicks, and spin down.
Do you understand me?

Hello everyone, sorry for my poor english, because i using google translator.

firist thing if you sure that 2 pcb are compatible
do these steps

1- region map edit + change 01 address in both copies
2- reset hdd
3- load overly
4- is your hdd spin up or spin down ??
if up then test heads
if down then change pcb and write good rom (256 kb ) then do these steps again

Yes 2 PCB are compatybile. In this case My Hdd Spin Up, not spin down
Yes, Spin Up, not spin down, and Test Head in Sa Area is good, and SA Scan defet shows no bad sectors in SA area. Other PCB 1640 in 256K ROM like 2060-701640-002 REV A is not work with my drive, because native PCB have MCU 88i8945 in internal ROM(192K).

Hello everyone, sorry for my poor english, because i using google translator.

Have you tried to increase the file up to 256K (filled with 0xFF) ?

upload your modules stuff here
write new full FW For your HDD
and you need to be sure that all key module is ok if you need your data back
if you need only repair your HDD
just write new Firmware for your hdd
till me if it detected without any problem or no

Yup, and Drive not spin Up. Tomorrow attach full Back Up FW. I'm sure in 100% that modules are good(checksum, headers)
Yeah, right I need repair my drive, because this drive is empty, and shame thrown away.

BTW, Thank you for all replies, really thank you Friends for Help.

For Refurbishing this is nice case for repair
let me know after you change Fw is your HDD detect normally or no

Ok,
Certainly I inform, can actually content modules are damaged, despite the efficient checksums and headers. Intresting

Hello everyone, sorry for my poor english, because i using google translator.

i see all your replies again
why you make problem so difficult although it need only 5 min for Repair ?

your heads ok , your pcb good , so problem must be in FW

you Region map edit , load overly , no cliking , hdd spin up , this mean prb in FW

your problem may be in one of the following modules

1- 02 or 03
2- p-list or translator

this mean 02,03,31,33 0ne of this modules is reason for cliking
and spin down
you can know reason after write new FW with same microcode

i wait for you to change firmware and give Result for HDD Detect nomrally or no

Hi friends and inform your max 2-3 day because now I'm not responding . Ehh my brain is not work property. must back to health, and then back to this issue, sorry friends really sorry

Interesting to take a look on the registers, usually drive shows error codes according to it's faults correctly.
Actually, here is an answer..

Additionally, you sad, that drive doesn't spin down after changing 0 region on 1 region.
Problem with FW. Probably, some modules are not correct or not native. Does this drive was anywhere before you? Did you compare SA copies (at least important modules) each to other?

Hi, I'm Back to the health.
So back to my theard. So I prepared screen shoot, how does this look:


And Head Test:
everything is show in screens well, Mods important, and critical are the same, and attach full SA COPY(Modules, ROM). Sorry Friend, but I can't write new FW with the same microcode, because I don't have, a compatibile donor FW, themselves FW with WD5000AADS-00S9B0 with the same microcode, unless may be with WD5000AADS-00S9B0?

OK, because erase track I treat as a full-format areas SA. DFL company, and ACE lab recommend Erase Track
before writing Sa mods,Btw, your method not work, sitation the same.
Ok.
Ok, I write modules in original correct place, and Click, Click, click, click, click
something seems to me that the PCB is damaged after these hits

_________________
Hello everyone, sorry for my poor english, because i using google translator.

they recommend to Erase tracks and this is useless step
you already format SA , or Write new FW , no need to erase track at this step
and i would like to repair this case online
if you are interest PM Me
or add me on Skype ID : hpwlab
