				Hello again...
 
 
I'm the one with the 80 gig western digital dead hard drive    
 
 
After a few months of searching, I've located a drive almost indentical to mine...
 
 
Mine:
 
model: WD800JB-00FSA0
 
Date: 08 May 2003
 
DCM : HSBHCVJCH
 
 
The one located:
 
model: WD800JB-00FSA0
 
date: 20 nov 2003
 
dcm : HSBHCTJCA
 
 
please give advice on 2 things:
 
 
1-If I should try and switch the boards or not
 
2-If the boards are similar, I switch them and it does not work...is there a possibility Data can be lost...or just not read but data kept intact...?
 
 
please advice
