I just got a drive today that gives no indication of power, however upon looking at the PCB there is an unfilled screw hole, and no support underneath for a screw. I was hoping I could provide the information from the PCB and the drive label to see if this is correct.

Model: WD3200AAJB-00J3A0
PCB revision: 2061-701596-A00 12P

Thanks for the help.

Most manufacturers appear to espouse the philosophy of just-in-time manufacturing. This means that the date code on the label should match the date codes on the chips.

IC date codes are most often encoded in YYWW or YWW format, where Y=year and W=week.

If you can upload some detailed photographs, maybe someone will be able to assist you.

fzabkar: I didn't even think about checking those dates, thanks for turning my brain on.

CleanRoom: Thanks for the information

I had just never seen one like that before, caught me by suprise. Now I get to figure out where the power issue lies ;)

Thanks again guys
