u should also change the ROM chip along with pcb.

rameez, stop advising bullshit, please.

Not many of these drives have a ROM, so 60/80/120Gb does not matter.

If original has no ROM, and you get clicking then you have FW issue or failed head(s)

What is the bullshit that i advised , if there was something wrong i said u should have some manners to tell it to me .

rameez ,

when you talk about change the ROM:

- It is right only for :

pcb versions: E4FYA , E4FYB and G6FYA !!!

All of them have ROM and version of that ROM
depends on version FW of HDD.:

YAR41VW0 or YAR41BW0....

IN that case if you excnange pcb's between different
FW version of HDD you must change ROM......

The other versions: F4FYA ,K2FYA , M6FYA have not the ROM !!!!!

yes u r right gsimon i advised this because i didnot know the pcb no .
