I have a WD10EZEX-60WN4A1 drive that was missing a PCB board. I had another drive (same model #)with bad heads and placed that board on the drive. Of course I did not have the original PCB to do a BIOS swap. It powers up and is recognized in Windows(correct capacity, model) and shows good in Victoria. I do not have MRT or PC3000, I have WDMarvel. Is there anything that I need to do to safely use the drive for myself?

Can you see files .

Be Careful
Different ROM could damage original SA modules. If you lucky you could see files first. But next power on, couldn't acess drive anymore. Its occure when connecting drive to PC directly with SATA or USB . And not easy to recover after then. I have solved some cases like this. But multiplying my price x2, x3 . I love that case. Also solved 11 WD cases lost ROM and lost PCB . My last one WD10JMVW AJGS4 . 2 Different recovery firm couldn't get data . ROM was damaged. Maybe sabotage, maybe wrong operation.
And I haven't solve some cases. So SA bad sector and overwrited modules.

This is not a recovery case. The drive with no board has less than 7 hours on it and 5 power ups...according to smart with replacement pcb board. I would like to use the drive myself, but I wanted to make sure I did not need to reset anything or do anything because the pcb being on a drive with bad heads.
