Hi all,


i have a DR case for WD5000AAJS drive,

patient drive's pcb is dead, no power nothing

i have a excact match donor, swapped the pcb but not compatiable
i tried to read patient in kernel mode on pc3k but no access
i resoldered the marvel chip on patient and put it on donor pcb
unfortuantley nothing is changed , pcb is still dead

so, the main chipn on the patient drive's pcb is not working ,

in this case how can i get the data from this hdd
any suggestion please?

Is this a ROYL drive?

i think ,,yes it is royl family

You should be able to rebuild ROM on non native pcb with Acelab (genuine) pc3000 or Salvation Data WD Doctor.

You have likely damaged donor pcb also. Spaz is right, you can run ROM recovery from PC3000, from your post it looks like you have it. Is it genuine UDMA?

PC3K requires a loader to work with WD SA from safe mode (which is kinda stupid IMHO), anyway in order to read original SA and assemble original ROM you need to use module 11 (as a loader) and PCB from a donor drive which supposed to be any size TNA, TKA, TMA or TRA (Tornado3) model, PATA or SATA
