PCB failures (Such as WD PCB 2060-771692-*** (2061-771692-***)<\/b>) affect thousands of hard drives every year and often result in permanent data loss. A hard drive may suddenly fail to power on, and a computer may not detect that it is plugged in. Some failed hard drives will also show up in computer BIOS with incorrect brand\/model information. PCB failures can also cause physical issues such as read\/write head failures, and many PCB failure symptoms overlap with the symptoms of other physical hard drive issues.<\/p>\n

Q: Weird ROM Size Issue<\/b><\/p>\n
I’ve been working with a WD5000BMVW with PCB 771737. According to the list of compatible SATA boards the one I need is 771692. My original issue was that my patient has a 512KB ROM chip and all SATA donor boards I looked at had only a 256KB chip. I finally found one with a 512KB chip from a different job I was working on and tried to use it by flashing the ROM but it didn’t work. Now when I want to flash back the ROM to the original …<\/p>\n
Q: Using CH341A programmer for reading ROM chips<\/b><\/p>\n
… 17 USB devices and various parallel\/serial port-based programmers. Please note that for working with CH341A-based programmers you will need version 0.9.9 or higher. I took a PCB for testing from dead 500 GB WD5000BPVT. PCB revision is 2060-771692-005 and it has Winbond 25X40BLN1G chip. Firstly I transfered ROM chip to SOIC adapted which was included in programmer device kit (if you don’t have it you can also order it less than $1 from Aliexpress\/ ) ?…<\/p>\n

Q: SATA Match for USB Board 771737<\/b><\/p>\n
I have a WD10TMVW with the above USB board. The matching guide says 771692 is a match, but the ROM is not the same size. Clients ROM is 512, ROM on board is 256. Physically swapping the ROM does not work. I see some people recommend 701692 for the 512 ROM, but from what I can see they are not commercially available.Any ideas of a board that will work?<\/p>\n
