I'll take either a PCB or hard drive, I just need the correct one with the correct firmware.

S/N: WCANK3619558

Western Digital 160GB Caviar SE
P/N: WD1600JB-00REA0
DATE: 15 MAY 2006
DCM: DSCACTJAA

2060-701292-001 REV A (etched on the PCB)

2061-701292-C00 AA (sticker on the IDE connector)
XC 3E03 0VL5 B 0003420 6423


My situation was as follows...
My hard drive wasn't spinning, I purchased a new PCB with the following numbers: 2060-701292-002 REV A (on the PCB) and 2061-701292-C00 AE (on the sticker). As you can see, most of the numbers matched except the last part (which I guess is the firmware version?). Anyway, I put the new PCB on my hard drive, and it spinned, but the pc still didn't recognize it, not even in the bios.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

You have to transfer ROM chip from original PCB to a new one in order to match your drives unique microcode.

If that means soldering, I'd really like to save that as a last resort for fear of messing up the job even more. Is that my only option, or would a complete pcb swap with identical numbers work?

Your local TV/AV repair shop should be able to do the soldering for you.

Otherwise you can purchase a board, including firmware transfer, from suppliers such as http://www.hdd-parts.com. Cost is about US$70 for everything.

See http://www.hdd-parts.com/20091021.html

I tried fixing it like in that video, now the chip is screwed, part of it broke. If I get another PCB with complete matching numbers, will it work? What are my options now?

Now you have to fix that chip or refer to data recovery professionals.

There's really no fixing it, part of it is broken. And I can't send for a professional recovery. Now my question is: Obviously, they made more than one of my exact hard drive. If I can find one that is exactly like mine with all the same numbers, can I transfer that PCB to my drive and make it work? Or does it have to be the single chip that was on my old hard drive? Thanks

I just uploaded some pics of the broken ROM chip and the PCB board if it's any help to anybody...

The chip was taken from right below where the large hole is and underneath where it says "U12"

I can't see the locating mark for pin #1. Which pins are missing -- 3 and 4, or 7 and 8?

What does the locating mark look like? There's a code written on the chip.

The locating mark varies between chip manufacturers. Some use a dimple in the moulding adjacent to pin 1. Others have a notch at the edge of the moulding between pins 1 and 8.

Alternatively, the PCB may have a dot on the artwork alongside pin 1.

I don't see any marks indicating which pin is which. Does it matter which one it is? Could the rom work without the two broken pins? And if it doesn't, then what? Thanks
