Please help me out! I have the defective drive details as below:

Model: 6Y080L0130403
S/N: Y3HBSLRE
Code: YAR41VW0

I have some 6Y080L0 YAR41BW0 drives, but no YAR41VW0. Can I use the modules from the YAR41BWO drives as donor to the defective drive.

Thank you

No. Different OVLs etc. - Other modules can be borrowed from same family but depends on what's the problem. Need the data or the drive (for repair) ?

Maybe you can't use YAR41BWO to saveYAR41VWO.

The Model No. and the Code No. should be the same and the first 3 No. of S/N should be same.

Thank you so much for your help!


Hi Black ST,

I need the data from the drive, but the failed drive can't be accessed. I thought there maybe something wrong with the firmware. So I need a donor drive. Can you give me a suggestion? What should I do? Find the hard drive as "hddgenie" said or can use the hard drives which I had?

Thank you for your futher help!

if u think its something wrong with SA u should be access on safe mode, i suppose the ATA registers on master mode its DRDY DSC then ABRT so , access on safe mode and check SA structure


Regards

What are the symptoms of the drive?
What for tools do you have?
You should find the firmware in Hddguru files

Best regards

First access the defective drive in safe mode, determine which modules are corrupted (and if SA is readable), determine ROM and then find a suitable donor.
Of course don't touch for godness sake the adaptive data !
Always make a backup of the SA. And anyway if the drive doesn't click at start it's a good symptom.

Hi Mgic01,
I think first you need confirm whether it is necessary for you to change the firmware with a donor?
If this problem is not caused by the SA problems , you can fix it very easily.

The symptoms: the Hard drive can't access the BIOS. From other note in this forum, I guess the firmware of the hard drive failed. The note said that:" if a hard drive is not seen in the computer or bios. its more likely going to be a firmware problems or a damaged logic board or damaged preamp head." So I want to find the donor at first.

Tools: I used R-studio, MHDD and some freeware of firmware repair

"You should find the firmware in Hddguru files", thank you for your good suggestion, I will try to search the firmware from Hddguru files later.

Regards
