WD10TMVW-11ZSMS0

I just checked one of these models, and it definitely has a ROM image. Have you tried just doing LDR upload to see if you can read modules?

 

[Jared]

This should be a pretty easy operation. Just throw any old 2060-771692 PCB on there, copy any ROM from the same model (-11ZSMS0), upload the LDR from that same resources you got the ROM from, and that should get you SA access. Then it's a simple ROM rebuild procedure. You might even be able to get away with using a ROM and LDR from a -11ZSMS1 or -11ZSMS2 for that matter.

Assuming the PCB really was the issue, and you aren't also dealing with bad heads.

I have to try...

 

[Jared]

There's plenty of resources for those and similar models on my firmware server.

 

[pclab]

I have searched there... Didn't found them....
Gonna search again.

 

[Jared]

I think I had a few that hadn't been synced from my workstation back to the server. Snycing the folders now, so you might want to check again in a bit.

It's Helios family, if it helps.

just tried to swap 4 PCB's (raid) between each other 3 of them are manufactured the same day and DCM "was not" a full match and worked without transferring the ROM
the fourth have a full match with one of the 3 (above) of all the spec's including "full" DCM "but different date of manufacture" end "doesn't" work without transferring the ROM

interesting, maybe the key is the date of manufacture :roll:

 

[Jared]

And these were all WD Marvel drives?

 

[jol]

yes
