From: fatmann66 on 27 Jan 2008 21:27 Hi All; My logic board went on my hard drive before my monthly backup. (Always works out that way.) Anyway wanted to pull some data off the drive before I scrap it and need a transplant. If you all are like me you have old drives lying around all over the place. It turns out locating this board is a little harder then I thought (went through my "to junk" pile at work 30+ HDs and only found ,1 but it was the wrong bios version.) I was hoping someone might be able to hook me up. This data isn't critical or anything so I'm not looking to drop a lot of $$ but will be willing to trade or pay shipping etc. if you have it. Here is the info: WD400 (RECERT) MDL:WD400-00DNA0 DCM:HSCHCVJAA LOGIC BOARD IS : A "100 EB" (this # is the 3rd set from the left off the barcode on the board ((just to the left of the slave jumper)) BIOS Ver. is: V7163 (this is found on the back side of the board) 1 last think to note is that WD had 3 types of boards for these 40gig drives. 1st one looks like an "L" and the other 2 take up the top 1/2 of the back of the drive (mine is this type) out of these 2 mine is the 1 with a notch in the board (top left side just under the screw and this notch corresponds with the side rail screw hole) It would be great if someone could help me out. Regards, Fatmann66

On the PCB, generally at the edge, is a number etched onto the board beginning 2060-xxxxxx. You need one of these. You need to desolder the ROM chip from your failed board and place it on the replacement board. Simply swapping PCBs is not going to help at all.

While possible with (good) amateur equipment, this is a major challenge. I would not recommend trying it, unless you have a decade or so experience with a soldering iron. Even then, using the time needed to earn some money instead and giving the job to a professional may be more cost effective. Arno
