The BIOS IC is defect .When i replace the BIOS IC to donor PCB the motor not spin.

NOTE: The original PCB (patient) not spin the motor. when i remove the BIOS IC and replace it with donor BIOS IC it spin the motor. So the PCB of patient is ok.

Best Regards

Hello,

i can recover the rom for this model, but i need physical access to the drive. On the other hand, it is pretty early to think abou this method, it would be more adequate to read the content of the original flash rom to see what's wrong. A terminal report would be also useful.
try to read it either thru programmer or thru the terminal (requires some tool like pc3k or mrt).
