 Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:18 am Post subject: Western Digital - No firmware listed |
 |
|
A while back I made a request for a Western Digital PCB. I found one, but when I tried to replace it, it didn't work. Before the replacement my computer would continuous beep and I couldn't even get into the BIOS. After the replacement, no beep and I could get into the BIOS, but the BIOS didn't see the drive. I started researching again and found that the firmware needs to match also. I looked on the drive and I am unable to find any place that lists the firmware version. Anybody have any ideas? Below is the original post information:
| Quote: | I am in need of a PCB board for a WD800EB. Additional numbers as labeled:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

ok well i am under going the same from what i understood that another person told me was that you would have to take the old firmware chip off the dead board then replace the one on the good board with it. hoping that nothing goes bad durning the process |

yes on all Western Digital drives (and now the Seagate 7200.11) a ROM exchange is required, it's chip number U12 on the board.
Be VERY careful if you are inexperienced at wielding a soldering iron.
Also your firmware may be corrupt, but you need specialist equipment to solve this
If you have any question, just ask,
