I have an old WD 80GB EIDE drive that burnt its motor control chip. The info on the drive is not that important but it would be nice to get some of the data back.

My question is, does anyone hear know what PCB I need or do any of you have one? I’m not a fan of replacing the firmware chip as my soldering skills will probably let me down. I have included images of the firmware and S/N.

Thanks for the help guys.

HI

On the back of your PCB, can you find 2060-001092-007 ?

you might need to SWAP the U2 chip

the SST chip

Oh man, 40 pins

The other way is find the same HDD

and write back with PC-3000

But I wonder if you can get the firmware.

You can refer to this link

And someone said for old harddisk just do the PCB swap should be OK

Before I have do a PCB SWAP for a 40GB MAXTOR without matching any thing and it works. Well just for you reference.

Hi

I have the same problem

MDL: WD800BB-32CCB0
Date: 05 Feb 2002
Dcm: HSFHBT2AH

Lower right number 3902B934

This has burnt the motor controller U1 chip.

I need a donor board, do you have one.. ?? pls pm I will buy

Burnt chip is labeled as:

L6278 1.2


A guy before me put his hands on the drive and try to swap the card but when they called me both drives (new and damaged) were damaged

So I need to start over and get a new donor board....
