Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:27 pm Post subject: DCM Questions |
|
|
Hi,
I have a WD2500JB-00REA0 which burned, I opened the board and I clearly see that the "SMOOTH - L6283 - 1.3" chip burned (and it smells too ...).
So I have kinda important data on that drive and am confident that the disk is intact.
I found severals board but none has the same DCM # as mine.
So I would have to replace the U12 chip from my board on the new one I would buy.
BUT thing is I found other boards for
WD2000BB-22RDA0, DCM: DSCACTJAH (same DCM than me!!!)
instead of WD2500JB-00REA0
Would this board work with my HD ?
Also I found one :
HDD, 250GB, WD2500JB-00REA0, LBA 488397168, DCM: DSBHCTJAH
Same model, same LBA and DCM mine=DS[CA]CTJAH - only 2 letters differs ...
Would that board works ?
Any suggestions?
I am at ordering one of same model-firmware on ebay and try to find a place where to switch U12 chip...
Would that work?
Chances of sucess?
Thanks |

Simple Board swap will not work, even if you match DCM number.

Hi,
Try to find a matched donnor PCB, which have same PCB number "2060-******-00* REV A"
Then swap rom chip before swap PCB.
Take care and Good luck!

Only "2060-******-00*" numbers have to fit for compatible PCB?
Cauz I found all matching numbers PCB but the last part "REV-A" which is always different than my dead PCB !
And I doubt I would find one matching the last part ... !
Sunny told me he never matched that number tho to make sucessful rom swap ... |

Are you sure of that info Erin Lee?
With the "same" PCB number "2060-******-00* REV A" I found this http://tux-tech.com/westerndigital.php?id=93 that is a Western Digital WD1200JB-00FUA0 HSBACTJAH 2060-001179-003 REV A 120.0 GB:

LBA : 234441648
Family: WD Caviar
WD P/N: WD1200JB-00FUA0

Will this board work on ArchSpy WD2500JB HD? |

This board surely wouldn't work imo.
I am pretty sure as I heard everywhere else that the Firmware also has to match first which means all WB2500JB-00REA0 would have to match at least and then I don't know about the PCB # we are speaking about if it has to match or not... |

@ ArchSpy
1 - Electronic repair shop can do the ROM swap.
2 - I saw a story at http://www.deadharddrive.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=60.
" Quote: |
In my case, I had success with matching a PCB from a WD2500JB-00EVA0 drive to my WD2500JB-00FUA0 drive. However, the PCB number was the same on both.
I was led to believe that when I found a matching PCB, I might have to swap a firmware chip from my bad PCB to the replacement PCB (see my response at http://www.deadharddrive.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=52 ). While the firmware chip swap might be necessary in some cases, in mine it was NOT required.
It was correctly recognized as a WD2500JB-00FUA0 (even though the PCB came from a WD2500JB-00EVA0). I may just have been very lucky to not need a chip swap.

Interesting !
I'll try to find a matching board with this number than... !
I wonder why sunny told me he never matched this # and it worked with only Model-firmware and a swap of the U12 rom... !
Couldn't be possible that the U12 rom contains the information which differenciate the PCB # we are trying to match ?
And then swapping would bring that # a no need to match ? |

One doubt arise me on the link I gave. Is he referring to the PCB Etched code or the PCB Label code (he refers the "(IDE) white bar code label", and then the "PCB#") Would he meant the same thing? |
