Ran into a strange event today that doesn't make sense to me. Had a HTS547575A9E384 come in that had a burnt out PCB. I wasn't able to read the NV-RAM through the utility as it wouldn't come ready, so I physically moved the chip. The recovery went perfectly, read every last sector.
Now I just want to make my donor work again. So I tried writing the NV-RAM back to it. It acts like it writes fine, but it just won't work. I checked and both NV-RAM images are the same size. I even had two copies that I made of the donor and I've tried both, but to no avail. It's almost like the NV-RAM image of the donor isn't compatible with the chip (which I know is good, it still works on the patient drive).
Or is there something I'm missing that's preventing it from writing to the chip? Any thoughts.
(Oh and I seem to have lost the original chip from the donor, so that isn't an option at this point)
