I've purchased a ST3500320AS.
The problem is the motor spin-up don't work. Anybody knows if I can change the controller card ?

I have found the same HD but the formware was updated to SD1A...
Can I switch the two controllers cards ?

Sorry for my bad english...

Thanks !

No you can't switch the cards, not without swapping the ROM too anyway.

I bet your board is fine and you have another problem.

some little addition:
The updated (SD1A) firmware is not in the "card", but in the platters, hidden on factory tracks.

By desoldering the ROM from your drives PCB and soldering it in place to the donor's PCB.
But as you ask this, this job may be miles beyond your scope.
As others already wrote, you may have other problems, ranging from firmware faults to spindle seizure.
