 Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2007 7:21 pm Post subject: Seagate ST96812AS PCB Swap |
 |
|
| Hi I have a Seagate ST96812AS with a burned PCB. My drive FW is 7.01 and I found a replacement drive to buy with FW 3.06. Also the PCB are different. Is there any way that it will work OK. |

What do you mean the PCBs are different?
I also tried a PCB with a different firmware on my 7.01 drive. It didn't work, but then (as I mentioned in another thread) a 7.01 PCB didn't work either.
Is your drive from a Mac? |

Try to find a matching pcb with the same firmware. Sometimes you should also exchange the BIOS on the PCB.
Here is a link you can try: http://www.hddzone.com/seagate-pcb-c-1.html |

| The BIOS contains some related info of your hard drive. So sometimes we need to use the old BIOS chip to your new PCB. |

If you need to purchase a PCB, try the following vendor:
http://www.onepcbsolution.com/
His price is US$40, plus $10 for a ROM transfer, if required.
BTW, I am not associated with any supplier.
Otherwise, upload a detailed photo of your PCB and one of us will help you with a DIY repair, if feasible. |
